The moment that leads to a breach rarely feels risky. It’s someone rushing to meet a deadline, pasting a snippet into ChatGPT, or approving an app request without a second thought. We’ve all seen it. It’s how real work gets done and how real risk slips in.
These aren’t reckless people. They’re a workforce under pressure, making fast decisions without the right protection or behavioral guardrails. Attackers know this. They’ve built playbooks to exploit it: hijacking attention, creating urgency, and slipping into the seams of modern workflows.
That’s the human attack surface.
Most cybersecurity solutions still treat it like a footnote: outsourcing behavior to training modules, locking things down with signature-based DLPs, or running compliance drills that don’t shape meaningful security habits in the moment. At best, it’s security theater. At worst, it’s the dangerous illusion of control.
Goliath Cyber Security Group isn’t playing that game. They’re building a modern MSSP grounded in cognitive security to actually solve for the human layer, not just in theory but in practice.
And today, we’re proud to announce they’re doing it with Maro.
Leading the Cognitive Security Shift
Goliath is pioneering a new managed security service that treats human risk as a solvable challenge. Through our partnership, their customers benefit from Maro’s behavioral policy engine and social engineering safeguards, designed to protect people where they work most: the browser.
It’s cognitive security in action. Goliath + Maro gives security teams real levers to guide secure operating habits, fully managed and aligned to your cybersecurity policies. Think of it as your workforce’s GRC companion, riding side-by-side to keep them on the lighted path and toward safe actions as intended.
Imagine…
- Behavioral policy enforcement that brings GRC oversight into everyday workflows, turning static rules into real-time behavioral controls.
- Data loss prevention for AI Chatbots that stops sensitive data exposure without disrupting productivity or blocking innovation.
- Browser-level protection that intercepts real-time deception like clickjacking and typosquatting.
- Intelligent social engineering interception that catches psychological attacks at the moment they strike, including Adversary-in-the-Browser and other AI-powered threats.
Many organizations are stuck treating cybersecurity policies as static documents that outline what should happen, but rarely reflect what is happening. The result is a dangerous gap between intent and impact. Goliath + Maro closes that gap. We turn policy into a living system. Always on in the background
observing usage, shaping behavior, and blocking risk before it snowballs out of control.
Beyond the Illusion of Control
Cognitive security isn’t just a philosophical shift. It changes what gets secured and how. Legacy GRC tools track technical controls but they don’t protect your workforce. The 68% Verizon DBIR statistic tells us these approaches aren’t working to curb human risk. These tools don’t align usage intent with policy controls. They don’t protect against behavior hijacking in critical moments.
Goliath + Maro does. We make it possible to:
- Intervene early, not react late after the fact
- See where policy safeguards are working or silently failing
- Apply governance at the behavioral level, where risk actually shows up
Policy shouldn’t just tell people what not to do. It should help them do the right thing with clarity, context, and protective guardrails. It’s security that works with people, not around them. For the broader security industry, this is a signal: the era of checkbox compliance to address the human attack surface is ending. Security that adapts to people is what comes next.
What’s Next
Goliath brings this human-first approach to their customers through their evolving Goliath 360 offering. The Maro cognitive security platform is embedded as a core capability, enabling a deeper, dynamic view of human risk and effective tools to manage it.
For customers, that means:
- Clear visibility into behavior-based risk
- Adaptive behavior controls that flex with real-world use
- Protection that neutralizes social engineering as it happens
- Stronger security, less friction
We’re proud to support Goliath as they lead the industry into a smarter, more human future. We can’t wait to share more stories from the field as this partnership grows! Because when you stop relying on user attestation and start shaping behavior, that’s when security truly adapts to how humans work.
And that’s what Maro and Goliath are building together.
