Building your human firewall.

MOBILISING THE MOST POWERFUL FRONTLINE CYBERSECURITY DEFENCE

SIGN UP FOR OUR WEBINAR ON 19TH JUNE - 3.30PM

According to an IBM security report, human error is the main cause of 95 per cent of cybersecurity breaches. In other words, without human error 19 out of 20 cybersecurity breaches may not have happened at all.

 

So how can a modern business motivate colleagues to play their part in building a robust cybersecurity defence?

 

Your people are often at the front line of cybersecurity threats, but to get them on board, you need to open eyes and change behaviours, and that’s easier said than done.

 

Join us in our webinar where we’ll dive into one of the biggest threats to your organisation.

In the session, we’ll:

  • Explore how and why a “human firewall” works and why employee engagement and tech teams could be the perfect partnership
  • Break down how to make the technical, accessible
  • Hear real-world examples of how to harness the power of colleague engagement to strengthen your cybersecurity from the brands getting it right.

Can’t wait until then? Here’s a sneak peek ... 

Let’s get practical.

Our tried and tested strategic approach, underpinned by behavioural science, uses six steps to successful colleague-owned cyber protection.

Step 1_72

 

Engaging leaders in why cybersecurity matters and the role they need to play in complying with the regulation. When they understand the specific ask of them and their people, they can champion the change you need.

 

Step 2

 

Gathering insights to identify and overcome barriers to change. How do employees feel about cybersecurity risks and behaviours? And what support do they need to feel more confident?

 

Step 3

 

Creating a strategic plan to engage colleagues and change behaviours. Make sure your IT and internal communications teams are on the same page and that you’ve aligned the key messages and delivery strategy.

Step 4b

 

A golden thread of narrative that outlines why cybersecurity matters, giving leaders everything they need to stay on message.

 

Step 5

 

This is an engagement plan to align and upskill your line managers. They need to understand their responsibility to stay compliant with NIS2 regulations and know how the business can help them do that.

 

Step 6b

 

A campaign plan in a box that brings the behaviours to life with colleague activations. Focus on one cyber risk at a time – eg phishing – to embed the change you want to see.
