The Last Mile in Cybersecurity: Next Steps in Building Resilience

By Sonya Lowry • October 12, 2024
In cybersecurity, the "last mile" represents the critical connection between technical controls and the people who use them every day.

In this post, Sonya Lowry explains why human involvement is essential to closing the cybersecurity gap and how the Sibylity platform empowers every employee—technical or not—to be a vital part of your organization's defense strategy. Learn how to transform your last mile from a vulnerability into a strength through shared responsibility and accessible cybersecurity solutions.

The Cybersecurity Fallacy: How Your Approach Is Putting You at Risk

By Sonya Lowry • October 3, 2024
The traditional, centralized approach to cybersecurity is no longer sufficient for today’s complex threat landscape. Relying solely on IT-driven security measures leaves critical gaps that can expose organizations to significant risks. In this post, Sonya Lowry explains why a new, distributed model—Federated Cyber-Risk Management (FCR)—is essential for empowering every department to take ownership of their cybersecurity responsibilities. By integrating FCR, organizations can shift from reactive, IT-focused security to a proactive, whole-organization approach that balances centralized governance with shared responsibility across all teams.

Is FCR a New Human-Centered Approach to Cybersecurity?

By Sonya Lowry • August 13, 2024
Federated Cyber-Risk Management (FCR) is often perceived as a human-centered cybersecurity approach, but it is, in fact, a process-centric methodology designed to distribute responsibility across an organization. In this post, Sonya Lowry clarifies the core principles of FCR and explains how it differs from human-centered cybersecurity while highlighting their potential synergy. By combining FCR’s structured process with human-centered design, organizations can create an inclusive, security-engaged culture where every stakeholder plays a role in managing cyber risks. Learn how to integrate these methodologies to foster a resilient, holistic approach to cybersecurity.
