MGT433 focuses on understanding and managing the human element in cybersecurity, recognizing that employees, contractors, and third-party vendors can be the weakest link in an organization’s security posture. The course explores the psychology of human behavior, common security risks posed by insiders, and how to mitigate them through training, awareness programs, and behavior-driven security policies. Participants will learn how to develop and implement strategies to reduce human risk, including phishing prevention, social engineering defenses, and fostering a security-aware culture. Through practical case studies and exercises, MGT433 equips leaders with the tools to manage human risk effectively and enhance overall organizational resilience.
