The Equifax Journey: A Guide to Human-Risk Management

SANS Security Awareness Summit 2022
Speaker:
Yinka Badmus, VP, Security Awareness & Engagement, Equifax
Ronny Mejia, Security Awareness Operations Manager, Equifax
The 2017 Equifax breach was a defining moment and offered an unprecedented opportunity for corporate self reflection. Who are our riskiest employees and how do we incentivize proper behavior? How do we drive a global ""Security First"" culture? Can we proactively monitor and mitigate human risk? How do we know when workforce behavior changes? These are some of the questions that led to Equifax's 5 year maturity journey from a compliance focus to a robust, metrics driven, and proactive human risk management program. This session will provide the following best practices:
• A phased step by step approach from analysis, solution design, and implementation
• An understanding of bbarriers to secure behavior to quantifiable measurement of workforce behavioral change
• An innovative 5 pillar approach to building the EFX Security First culture
• At the end of this presentation, you'll walk away with actionable insights on how to build a measurable human risk management program.
