What is human security?

Human security is a concept that shifts the focus of security from protecting states to protecting individuals. It emphasizes safeguarding people from critical and pervasive threats, such as violence, poverty, disease, and environmental hazards. Human security professionals work to ensure people's safety and well-being by addressing root causes of insecurity and promoting human rights, development, and peace. This approach is multidisciplinary, involving elements of international relations, public health, human rights, and social policy.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a Human Security role, and why are they important?

To thrive in a Human Security role, you need a solid understanding of international relations, conflict resolution, risk assessment, and humanitarian principles, often supported by a degree in international studies, security studies, or a related field. Familiarity with data analysis tools, crisis management systems, and certifications like Certified Protection Professional (CPP) or relevant UN training is beneficial. Strong interpersonal communication, cultural sensitivity, and problem-solving abilities distinguish top performers in this field. These skills are crucial for effectively addressing complex threats to individual and community safety in diverse and challenging environments.

What is the difference between Human Security vs Security Guard?

AspectHuman SecuritySecurity Guard
Required CredentialsTypically includes certifications in conflict resolution, crisis management, or international securityOften requires security officer licenses or basic security training
Work EnvironmentFocuses on protecting individuals, communities, or vulnerable populations, often in conflict zones or humanitarian settingsPrimarily guards physical property, premises, or events in commercial or residential settings
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by NGOs, government agencies, and international organizationsUsed by private security firms, businesses, and government agencies

Human Security and Security Guard roles differ mainly in scope and environment. Human Security focuses on protecting people in complex, often international settings, requiring specialized training. Security Guards primarily safeguard property and premises in more localized environments, with different certification requirements. Both roles are vital but serve distinct security needs.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in human security, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in human security often face challenges such as navigating complex cultural contexts, working in high-stress or conflict environments, and balancing immediate needs with long-term solutions. Building strong relationships with local communities, engaging in continuous cross-cultural training, and collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams can help address these challenges. Regular debriefings, mental health support, and ongoing professional development are also essential for sustaining effectiveness and well-being in this demanding field.

From day one, we prioritize employees first, encouraging them to think and act like owners and providing endless opportunities for growth and self-development, both personally and professionally.

About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Human Security Engineer to lead the design and execution of programs that protect the organization from social engineering and human-targeted threats. This role focuses on strengthening the human layer of security through training, behavior analytics, process design, and risk reduction strategies.
This individual will partner closely with Security, HR, IT, and business units to build scalable programs that reduce susceptibility to phishing, pretexting, and other forms of manipulation.
This role is a key part of our organization's shift toward "human risk management", treating users as a critical security control rather than a vulnerability.
What You'll Do
  • Social Engineering Defense Strategy
    • Design and evolve a comprehensive human security program focused on mitigating social engineering risks.
    • Identify high-risk user groups and develop targeted risk reduction strategies.
    • Stay current on emerging social engineering tactics (phishing, vishing, smishing, pretexting, deepfake-enabled attacks).
  • Training & Awareness Programs
    • Develop and deliver engaging, role-based security awareness training.
    • Lead ongoing phishing simulation programs and measure behavioral improvement.
    • Create targeted campaigns for:
      • Executives and high-value targets
      • Finance and HR personnel
      • Privileged users
    • Continuously improve training based on metrics and threat trends.
  • Process & Control Design
    • Define and implement human-centric security controls, including:
      • Verification procedures for sensitive requests (fund transfers, credential resets, etc.)
      • Out-of-band validation workflows
      • Standard operating procedures for handling suspicious communications
    • Partner with business teams to embed secure behaviors into daily workflows.
    • Reduce reliance on "user vigilance alone" by introducing process-backed safeguards.
  • Behavioral Risk Measurement & Analytics
    • Develop metrics and dashboards to track:
      • Phishing susceptibility rates
      • Report rates and time-to-report
      • Repeat-risk users or departments
    • Use data to inform leadership and drive program improvements.
    • Integrate human risk signals into broader security monitoring (SIEM/SOAR where applicable).
  • Incident Support (Human Factor Focus)
    • Support investigations of social engineering incidents.
    • Conduct post-incident reviews with a focus on process gaps and behavioral insights.
    • Recommend and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
    • Work with:
      • Security Operations (SOC) on reporting and escalation pathways
      • Identity and Access Management teams on verification controls
      • Communications/HR on policy messaging and adoption
    • Align human security efforts with enterprise security strategy.

What You'll Bring
  • 5-8+ years in cybersecurity, risk management, or security awareness, with focus on human-centered security.
  • Experience designing and managing security awareness and training programs.
  • Strong understanding of social engineering tactics and human attack vectors.
  • Proven ability to translate security risks into practical, user-friendly processes.
  • Experience with phishing simulation platforms and training tools.
  • Strong analytical skills with experience using metrics to drive decision-making.

What Will Set You Apart
  • Background in psychology, behavioral science, or human factors (highly valuable).
  • Experience with enterprise awareness platforms.
  • Experience integrating user risk signals into security tooling.
  • Certifications such as:
  • CISSP, CISM
  • Certified Security Awareness Practitioner (CSAP)
  • SANS Security Awareness or Human Risk Management training
  • Deep understanding of human behavior in security contexts
  • Strong communication and storytelling ability
  • Program design and change management expertise
  • Data-driven decision making
  • Influence without authority across business units
  • Reduction in phishing susceptibility and repeat offenders
  • Increased reporting rates and faster reporting times
  • Adoption of secure business processes (e.g., verification workflows)
  • Measurable reduction in successful social engineering incidents
  • Improved executive and high-risk user resilience
