Why Human Dependency Risk Can Matter More Than CVEs

A lot of security teams still look for fragility only in technology.

But serious incidents often start somewhere else:
one person becomes the release path,
one approver becomes the bottleneck,
one “temporary” bypass becomes normal.

That is why Human Risk Graph matters.

It makes hidden dependency structures visible:
single points of failure,
decision concentration,
and human bypass paths that quietly weaken security long before any breach happens.
