Awareness alone isn’t enough to drive behavior change in organizations. While educating people about policies and risks is important, continuous training and reinforcement are needed to make secure behaviors routine. This transformation requires leadership from the top and consistent investment, with the CISO enabling a shift toward an engage security-focused culture.
As the cyber landscape evolves, hackers increasingly exploit human vulnerabilities. Disengaged users are particularly at risk, highlighting the need for ongoing education to ensure that security awareness leads to consistent, secure behaviors.
To address these problems, OutThink is actively engaged in building a ‘Cybersecurity Human Risk Management Framework’ which helps organizations understand that creating a strong healthy cyber-security culture is not simply about patching technology and processes. In fact, it is about engaging the human element.
On this topic, we hosted our latest webinar on 9th of July, 2024 where our guest speaker Prof. Angela Sasse shared her views on engaging and managing human risk.
