Utilizing Behavioral Science to Build a Strong Human Firewall Across Critical Energy Infrastructure
A practical look at how behavioral science applied to operational technology environments can deliver higher leverage than additional security technology investment — and what it takes to build a repeatable human firewall framework that holds across operators, contractors, and supply chain partners in critical energy infrastructure.
- Investing in behavioral science rather than additional technology to achieve the highest leverage in energy security resilience
- Reducing click rates and accelerating incident reporting in operational technology environments using the B=MAP model
- Building a repeatable human firewall framework that encompasses operators, contractors, and essential supply chain partners
