CREATING A HUMAN FIREWALL

THE IMPORTANCE OF EMBEDDING A SECURITY CULTURE THROUGH YOUR WHOLE ORGANISATION

 
 

Everyone knows how vital cyber security is and how it must be embedded into everything that we do in our working and personal lives, right?

Turns out, not so much; there are still plenty of knowledge gaps across all levels of corporate hierarchy.

Paying attention to security practices is even more important now, given the rapid move to remote working. It seems like every day the news carries word of another data breach or the latest blunder an employee made that resulted in lost data.

What is at risk?

Everything: Your business, your reputation, and possibly a hefty fine.

Things will always get through the net, no matter how strong your cybersecurity policies. Ransomware attacks are skyrocketing, especially in this new era of remote working on a mass scale. Criminals are preying on prevailing fears and anxieties, and working from home - outside the network – has opened up gaps in the wall ripe for exploitation.

Don’t just think about the prevention – think about the recovery, too. Fusebox supports both the crisis communications and customer information necessary during a breach, but also those all important messages that say “we’re back – and here’s how we’re working to stop it happening again.”

Embedding a culture of cyber security into your business requires time, care and attention, just like any transformational programme. It’s not a natural process that grows organically, or through the IT department issuing regular updates.

Fusebox focuses on providing services to support those organisations building this culture of security compliance. We can provide the spark for ideas, and help create a strategy for communications and engagement to ensure the culture is embedded.

Total buy-in is required to avoid that one ‘click’ that leads to a phishing breach and suspension of normal business operations. We humans are often the weakest link in the security chain, so embedding a cyber security culture as part of how we operate on a daily basis is key. This is not a one hit wonder, a townhall, a poster campaign; this is about believing it, living it and becoming a passionate advocate.

Fusebox creates campaigns for both employees and external stakeholders to ensure your entire supply chain is aware of your high security standards.

Ongoing internal education programs can make or break that security culture, yet just 13% of CISOs rate better security training of employees as a top funding priority for the coming year. How are you putting the focus on prevention rather than cure?

Fusebox provides face-to-face and on-line Cyber Security Awareness Training. We can also develop the communications strategy to keep the education outputs top of mind long after the sessions are over.

Behavioral change triggers cultural change
