Right-Hand Cybersecurity Partners with Infosec Institute to Transform Organizational Behavior Change Through Human Risk Management

Organizations can drive employee behavior change and reduce risk through real-time training nudges generated from security alerts. 

Phoenix, AZ — September 18, 2024 — Right-Hand, a leading provider and pioneer of Human Risk Management (HRM) solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Infosec Institute, a leader in cybersecurity education and part of the Cengage group. This collaboration aims to provide a comprehensive and dynamic approach to managing human risk by creating a security culture led by true employee behavior change and security alerts reduction. 

This collaboration provides organizations with enhanced insights into their risk landscape, enabling more effective managing of human risk, which continues to be the root cause of most data breaches. Real-time training nudges triggered by security alerts will reduce the alert volume and workloads of SOC teams, and promote user awareness the moment these risky behaviors happen. The integration with communication platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams allows teams to deliver targeted, automated security training based on individual gaps. 

“The security awareness training market is maturing, and we’re excited to help lead this evolution and position our clients for long-term success,” said Bret Fund, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Infosec. “This partnership is just the beginning of where we see the industry moving, basing cybersecurity awareness on behavior for true change. We are committed to staying at the forefront of this change delivering further advancements and innovating for the future of cybersecurity.”

The partnership is motivated by a growing demand by security leaders and teams to upgrade their security awareness programs, the biggest of them being the integration between their security platforms (SIEM, EDR, email security) with their human risk programs and platforms. These integrations are the backbone that allows individualized, role-specific training and that delivers rich insights into the organization’s security posture. 

“We are thrilled about the opportunities this partnership brings to the market,” said Theo Nasser, CEO and co-founder of Right-Hand Cybersecurity. “Infosec has built a 20-year reputation as a leader in the security training market, while Right-Hand has been one of the pioneers of Human Risk Management. This partnership will enable Infosec’s clients to leverage Right-Hand’s platform and integration marketplace to connect their existing security technologies and deliver real-time training nudges that drive workforce behavior change.”

As one of the pioneers in the Human Risk Management space, Right-Hand Cybersecurity’s scalable and comprehensive platform is a unique complement to Infosec’s two decades of technical training experience and leadership in the security awareness training space. This partnership will allow organizations to mature and evolve their existing programs by making the identification and prevention of attacks a priority.
