Establishing Cybersecurity Culture in Today's Workplace

Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes every employee to keep an organization safe. Whilst security teams draft up cloud security solutions and invest in threat detection technology, this won’t prevent employees from being coaxed into buying hundreds of dollars worth of gift cards that their boss requested from a supposed personal email.
