In the modern technological era the threats to Government, Commercial and even Personal information systems are growing. As such, everyone needs to manage their “Digital Beachhead” or the point at which an adversary could gain entry into your digital environment. As Cyber professionals we often focus on the technology used to deter threats. These include methods of intrusion detection and/or prevention, firewalls, access control systems and vulnerability/penetration testing to name a few. What is often missed is the human element to our digital equation. While user training is one critical factor in any cyber risk management program, the testing of users is often understated if practiced at all.
