AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 12, 2025 / Living Security, the global leader in Human Risk Management (HRM), today announced new results from enterprise clients using its AI-powered Unify platform to prevent cybersecurity breaches caused by human behavior. In an era where 68% of data breaches stem from human error-and AI-powered phishing and deepfake scams are on the rise-organizations need more than traditional training. Unify uses AI to detect, prioritize, and proactively reduce risk, transforming security awareness into measurable prevention at scale.
According to IBM's 2025 Security X-Force Report, organizations using AI and automation in security operations reduce breach likelihood by 43%. Living Security's latest client outcomes demonstrate an even more substantial impact: enterprises leveraging Unify have achieved as much as a 90% reduction in human risk exposure, showing that proactive, behavior-based interventions powered by AI are shifting the landscape from reactive response to true prevention. This insight is validated by third-party research from Cyentia.
From Exposure to Prevention: Real-World Impact
Living Security clients are achieving breakthrough results by applying Unify's AI-powered insights and detection to spot risks early, guide interventions, and drive behavior change at scale:
Blackbaud, the leading software provider exclusively dedicated to powering social impact for non-profit and educational institutions.
Improved its Human Risk Index (HRI) by over 100% in just eight months. By integrating data from existing tools-including phishing simulations, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and web usage-into Living Security's AI-powered Unify platform, Blackbaud identified high-risk roles and behaviors. The platform then delivered targeted, department-specific campaigns, enabling proactive interventions before risky behaviors could escalate. Learn more about Blackbaud's HRM journey here.
Multinational Healthcare Organization
Increased HRI by 58% and reduced the number of employees engaging in high-risk security behaviors from 7% to 2% in 12 months.
With a small team managing security awareness for over 100,000+ employees, the organization turned to Living Security's Unify platform to move from reactive training to strategic, risk-based intervention.
The platform's AI capabilities surfaced behavioral gaps-particularly among contractors-by correlating phishing simulation clicks, USB exceptions, and underreporting patterns.
Armed with this visibility, they launched tailored engagement campaigns that aligned with real threats and user roles.
These data-driven actions not only improved HRI, but also led to increased leadership buy-in, expansion of the security team, and measurable behavior change across key segments of the workforce.
Regional Utility Provider
Achieved a 121% increase in Human Risk Index in just 30 days.
This large regional utility partnered with Living Security to identify and act on hidden human risk without overloading its 8,000+ employees or security team.
Using Unify's AI-powered insights, they uncovered behavioral patterns like misaligned phishing timing and role-based risk, then launched personalized Behavior Scorecards and staggered simulations.
Now expanding with automated workflows and executive dashboards, they've shifted from passive awareness to proactive, behavior-driven defense. Read the full success story here.
"These success stories aren't outliers-they're proof that when organizations embed AI into their human risk strategy, they can measurably reduce their likelihood of breach," said Ashley Rose, CEO of Living Security. "In a time when AI is used to scale social engineering and deepfakes, Unify turns scattered signals into action, helping our clients move faster, engage smarter defense strategies, and stay ahead of threats, before risk turns into impact."
