Outside-The-Box Strategies For Cyber Security Engagement

Despite increased investment in cyber security initiatives, organisations continue to be impacted by cyber attacks. Almost all successful breaches share one variable in common: human error. The reality is organisations face a very real danger of threat from within.

Against the backdrop of a complex cyber threat landscape, the insider threat has intensified as working practices have evolved and cybercriminals launch increasingly sophisticated attacks.

The mitigation of human-born error is key to reducing cyber risk in an organisation and a proactive approach to prevent employee-related threats has never been more important.

The speed at which technology and cybercrime rapidly evolve makes it increasingly difficult for organisations to remain cyber-secure and compliant. 

Consequently, the need to implement effective Information Security frameworks has heightened. With these frameworks in place, organisations can define the processes and procedures to assess, monitor, and mitigate cyber risk. 

Our upcoming webcast, ‘Business Benefits of Information Security Frameworks’, explores the business value of Information Security frameworks and how to build a robust cyber security strategy.

Business Benefits on Information Security Frameworks

In today’s complex business environment, organisations need to be able to respond rapidly to any changes and adapt policies where necessary. The only way to adapt to the dynamic, disrupted, and distributed nature of business is to be agile.

This requires organisations to have an agile policy management program in place so they can react quickly to changes in risks, regulations, strategy, processes, roles, and responsibilities.

An effective policy management program will provide a framework of governance, identify risks, define compliance, and play a crucial role in organisational success. It should also engage staff and clarify the standards of what is expected of them.

The 40-minute webcast will explore:
• How to monitor the internal and external environment for changes that impact policy.
• Key steps to defining a policy management program that is agile and dynamic to the needs of the business.
• Engaging employees on policies to ensure they know what is expected of them.
• How to ensure policies are being followed and aligned with the needs of the business.

Key Steps to Implementing an Agile Policy Management Program

Whether accidentally or deliberately, employees can put organisations at significant risk of a cyber attack. The task of defending against such threats is difficult because insider threats are often difficult to detect. 

The pandemic and the shift to remote working have contributed to the growing rate of insider threats in recent years and will continue to be an ongoing challenge for organisations. 

Our upcoming webcast ‘Insider Threats: The Dangers Within’ explores the types of insider threats that can impact your organisation and how to protect against risky employee behaviors from the careless to the malicious.

This 45-minute webinar will discuss:
• Internal threats versus external threats
• Types of insider threats and their motivating factors
• The risks that insiders pose
• How to protect your organisation by detecting, deterring, and disrupting insider threats

• Best practices for conducting phishing simulations and avoiding a shame culture.
• Strategies for creating effective email awareness campaigns that engages users.

Could Social Engineering Exist Without Email?

The effectiveness of a Security Awareness Training program in ultimately depends upon improving the security behaviours of staff. 

However, security training alone will not change employee behaviours. Until and unless awareness training affects how staff feel about the need to secure information, and their security instincts, organisations will continue to be vulnerable to cyber risk. 

Our upcoming webcast ‘Beyond Awareness Training: Cultivating A Security Culture’ explores why organisations must go beyond awareness training and instil a security mindset that transforms staff into their frontline defence against cyber attacks. 

This 45-minute webcast will discuss:
• Changing how staff perceive, think, and feel about information security
• Ingraining default security behaviours that point staff towards the right course of action
• Understanding the “why” and communicating this across the board
• Embedding a security subculture into the organisational culture
• Knowing your audience and making culture-change stick

Beyond Awareness Training: Cultivating a Security Culture

C-suite engagement is essential to embed the culture and tone necessary for effective cyber risk management. Despite the reality that cyber attacks are evolving and becoming more complex, making cyber security a C-level priority is no easy endeavour.
