The People Dimension of Security and Privacy: Eight Training and Awareness Habits of Highly Effective Organizations |
With data playing an ever-increasing role in the daily lives of customers, employees and business partners, the opportunities to breach the fortress through people are increasing as well. While people are an organization’s greatest assets, they are also a weak point in security and privacy efforts. As awareness of the people side of security and privacy grows, so will the need to address it as stakeholders look to organizations to demonstrate an ability to close the “people” gap.
Companies can consider adopting eight straightforward habits that can greatly increase both the efficiency and effectiveness of a company’s security and privacy training and awareness initiatives:
- Coordinate all mandatory employee training programs with an advocate at the top
- Focus on highest risks first
- Consider a role-based approach
- Develop ongoing awareness campaigns
- Adopt point-of-service training and communication
- Provide a one-stop shop
- Make everyone a part of the fortress
- Measure the results
