Synopsis

People are often seen as the weakest link in cybersecurity. Cybersecurity responsibilities are often siloed to cybersecurity professionals, neglecting the crucial role of all employees in safeguarding the organisation. This leads to fragmented protection of the company's information assets and, ultimately, an increased risk of cyber incidents.

Join me on a reflective journey to recognise the potential capability of (non-security) employees to be the best persons to assist in building the fight against cybersecurity vigilance. Rather than viewing them as weaknesses, let's get them on board and explore how to empower and engage and transform them as key contributors into our cybersecurity efforts' most valuable assets.

With nearly 11 years of experience guiding organisations across industries in IT/Cyber GRC, I've witnessed first hand the power of collective growth. Let's make people confident in their role and empowered to support cyber security objectives. You can find out some of the key ways you can turn your staff into a powerhouse in supporting cybersecurity and onboard to understand how. This fosters a culture of vigilance, leading to more effective security outcomes.
