Best Practice in Raising Cybersecurity Awareness across Large Organizations

A growing amount of data reveals that many cybersecurity measures are ineffective because they are ignored, bypassed, or deployed poorly. However, many of us intuitively realize this based on the daily news coverage of significant security data breaches and cybercrimes. Whatever we’re doing isn’t quite working.

Despite massive investments, IT systems and networks at all levels and within most companies remain intrinsically vulnerable to even the most basic security flaws and vulnerabilities. This is due to the fact that we have been focusing almost solely on the technological firewall for so long. However, we have rarely paid attention to the human firewall in any meaningful sense.

Speakers at this SASIG event will demonstrate how major firms have successfully connected with their workforce and extended enterprise, boosting awareness among employees, customers, and suppliers, and successfully impacting behavior for the better. We will also look at a top-down approach to security culture and whether motives and actions must match when it comes to awareness compliance.
