Job description
From Fable Security’s job post, as they wrote it.
About Fable
AI-driven threats and human error are today’s biggest enterprise security risks. Cybercriminals don’t hack systems—they exploit people. Human errors drive 90% of security breaches, making human behavior the primary and growing attack surface. (ex 1, ex 2, ex 3)
Fable is a security platform that mitigates human risks to the business. We built the first AI-native Human Behavior Platform to eliminate human risk wherever employees work. By leveraging GenAI and behavioral systems, we automatically detect at-risk employees, deliver personalized interventions at critical moments, and remove tangible risks to the business - at scale.
