Security Awareness Training is Broken

October 16, 2025

Most breaches still start with human behavior. Yet enterprises continue to spend billions on traditional security awareness training that fails to reduce real risk.

In this discussion, Dune Security Co-Founders David DellaPelle (CEO) and Michael Waite (CTO) explain why legacy programs are broken and how a data-driven, behavior-based approach is helping security teams finally close the user risk gap.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why one-size-fits-all training no longer works
  • How AI and off-channel attacks changed the threat landscape
  • Why generic awareness programs fail to move the needle on user risk
  • How personalized, risk-based training drives measurable resilience

At Dune Security, we automatically prevent insider threats and social engineering by simulating multi-channel attacks, scoring user risk, and adapting training and controls in real time.

Gain true risk reduction. Save time. Improve your security culture.
