Executives and team leaders should model robust cybersecurity practices. When leaders prioritise security, the rest of the team is likely to follow. Simple actions like using multi-factor authentication (MFA), keeping software updated and frequently discussing security topics all reinforce the importance of cybersecurity.
From the CEO to new joiners, every team member should understand their role in keeping the organisation secure. Start by implementing:
– Ongoing Training: Regular sessions that help employees recognise and respond to common threats like phishing emails or suspicious links.
– Clear Policies: Clearly defined expectations on areas such as password management, device usage, and data handling help keep everyone on the same page.
To maintain security in daily operations, equip your team with the right tools and processes. This makes secure practices straightforward and accessible. Examples include:
– Automated Updates: Set up automatic software updates to protect against new threats.
– Centralised Monitoring: Use centralised solutions to monitor and manage security events across the organisation, fostering transparency and accountability.
Create a positive connection with cybersecurity by recognising employees who demonstrate secure behaviours. Ideas include:
– “Security Champion of the Month” awards for cybersecurity mindfulness.
– Small rewards for completing security training or reporting phishing attempts.
Encouraging positive actions helps make cybersecurity an enjoyable and essential part of company culture.
