Phishing != Security Awareness

Dear IL Community,

I wanted to express some thoughts about the challenge that organizations may face if they want to establish a cybersecurity culture, especially when individuals within an organization do not prioritize or care about cybersecurity.

From my perspective, one of the main reasons it's tough to get a cybersecurity culture going is that people just don't see the potential consequences of cyber threats. They often don't realize how much of an impact a security breach can have or how important it is for them to protect sensitive information. This lack of interest can create a big vulnerability in an organization's security defenses.

Would love to get your view and discuss the following things:

  • How can we make cybersecurity feel relevant to every employee?
  • What innovative approaches have you seen in creating a security-minded culture?
  • Are current training methods truly effective, or do we need a radical rethink?
  • Is it about the missing Leadership commitment?
  • Do we struggle to demonstrate the tangible business impacts of cybersecurity?

It would be very appreciated if you can share your thoughts and experiences!

All the best - Nermin
