Synopsis
It's apparent that burnout and cyber fatigue are affecting security operators and team leads within organisations today. Even executive committees and board members struggle to comprehend the velocity of change that cyber security is. Unexplored risks from our human operators and a lack of governance around improving overall well-being within our teams could lead to serious operational impact. All this, even before a real security event unfolds!
Let's explore this risk, how to articulate it and lodge it as a vulnerability that needs to be addressed through better governance. And as for the impacts, we will highlight how numerous organisations have declared through independent research the fallout of their security teams being over-worked and under resourced has even led to information breaches.
Walking through a real world breach will highlight how and why these areas of risk weren't addressed well enough, what the key failures in their security program were attributable and what, if any, change was made to mitigate a repeat.
In the end, an attitude adjustment is desperately needed within the accountable ranks of many organisations to build a positive view and overall culture towards cyber resiliency, especially when it comes to our human operators.
Three key take aways will be provided to the audience to consider.
The identification of cyber risk for an organization and its communication into the entirety of the organization is of monumental importance.
Organizational impact and impairment comes in many different forms – leverage it.
Cyber security is a dirty word. Don't get lost in it's sea of meaning, have focus through diversity.
