Rapidly increasing cyberthreats, including a near doubling of ransomware attacks, exponential growth in IOT and AI deployment, digital transformation to the cloud, plus a worsening geopolitical situation, make implementing a strong security culture a necessity. It’s not enough for individual staff to be made aware of  cyberthreats; today organisations need to inculcate best practices in security as the new normal behaviour across the entire workforce.  

Best practice behaviours need to become embedded so that newcomers will adopt them without needing to be trained. 

But many executives are focussed on their primary remit, delivering whatever mission their role is tasked and incentivised to deliver. Strategies need to be deployed to ensure understanding of how a good security culture contributes to delivering on the organisation’s  primary mission.
