Enterprise CISOs and cybersecurity leaders will share real-world lessons for strengthening Workforce Security, advancing Security Behavior Management, and reducing risk across humans and AI agents
AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / August 31, 2026 / Living Security, the global leader in Human Risk Management (HRM), today announced the full speaker roster for HRMCon 2026, its annual Human Risk Management conference taking place September 10 in Austin, Texas, with a live virtual broadcast available worldwide.
The lineup brings together enterprise practitioners, analysts, cybersecurity strategists, and workforce security leaders from Forrester, Bayer, Labcorp, Reveal Risk, Cybersecurity Insights, and Living Security. Through real-world case studies and strategic discussions, speakers will examine how organizations are building, funding, and operationalizing Human Risk Management programs to reduce cyber risk across employees, privileged users, contractors, and AI agents.
“Security leaders need more than theories about Human Risk Management-they need to understand what it takes to build these programs in the real world,” said Ashley Rose, CEO and Co-Founder of Living Security. “This year’s speakers will share the decisions, obstacles, data challenges, and business cases behind their programs, giving attendees actionable ideas they can apply within their own organizations.”

Human Risk Management for Humans and AI Agents
As AI agents and autonomous systems gain access to enterprise data, applications, and workflows, Workforce Security is expanding beyond employee behavior. Security teams must increasingly assess risk across human and non-human identities while establishing clear governance, access controls, accountability, and measurable security outcomes.
HRMCon 2026 will examine how organizations can combine behavioral, identity, and threat intelligence to identify elevated workforce risk, prioritize interventions, and strengthen security controls before incidents occur.
