Pity the cybersecurity department. If people weren’t messing up their perfectly constructed systems, business data would stay safe and secure. However, without the people, there is no business. How do we resolve human behavior introducing risk into a business? Whether it’s taking a more relaxed view when it comes to opening emails or mixing the use of personal and business devices, applications and websites at home, people will naturally use workarounds and shortcuts simply to get the job done. If IT leaders do not develop robust partnerships with the entire workforce, providing solid cybersecurity solutions combined with regular cyber-education programs, then their business’ security posture will be in jeopardy.
