Creating a Culture of Cybersecurity

An organization’s ideas, customs, and social behaviors greatly influence its security culture. As the most important element in an organization’s security strategy, security culture sets the standard for an organization’s ability to protect networks and information, as well as employee and customer privacy.

The stronger an organization’s security culture is, the more likely the workforce will exhibit secure behaviors when handling sensitive data. The human element is a risk every organization needs to actively manage, and a strong security culture creates a safe environment for that to happen.
