What strategies do you use to ensure that all members of an organization are aware of and follow cybersecurity best practices?

1.       Start by educating them. Provide regular training on recognizing phishing scams, using strong passwords, and understanding basic security protocols. Make sure everyone knows the importance of keeping software up to date and how to handle sensitive data safely.

2.       Next, create clear policies that outline security expectations, including guidelines for device usage, internet browsing, and remote work. Ensure these policies are easy to understand and readily available.

3.       Encourage a culture of security by making cybersecurity everyone’s responsibility. Reward compliance and address non-compliance with consequences to reinforce the importance of following the rules. Keep communication open. Regularly update staff on emerging threats and encourage them to report any security concerns.

4.       Implement security tools like firewalls, antivirus software, and multi-factor authentication to provide extra layers of protection. Regularly monitor and audit systems to catch any vulnerabilities or suspicious activity.

A company should focus on engaging with its employees through Training and Conversations that avoid technical jargon.
 

The IT Policy can be tedious to go through, those should be simplified as much as possible as non-technical people tend to blur this information and retain very little information. 

A consultant who is fond of its craft and is able to explain Cyber Security topics for the regular user could deliver brief video calls on a weekly or biweekly basis.

 

To ensure all employees follow cybersecurity best practices, use the following strategies:

1. Regular Training: Educate employees on key security threats and safe practices.
2. Phishing Campaigns : Conduct simulated phishing attacks to raise awareness and improve detection skills.
