Information Security Forum to Examine Awareness and Embedded Employee Behaviors in Upcoming Webinar

NEW YORK - Sept. 1, 2015 - PRLog -- According to the Information Security Forum (http://www.securityforum.org/) (ISF), organizations on a global scale continue to struggle to attract and retain skilled information and cybersecurity professionals. Overcoming this challenge requires a more imaginative, business and people-centric approach to the recruitment of security professionals. However, once you have the right people in place, it is imperative to retain them and use their skills to embed positive-information security behaviors throughout the organization.

In an era where cyber security is a C-suite business challenge, how can the Board of Directors work with security professionals and others within the enterprise to address these issues? First and foremost, organizations need to shift from merely promoting awareness of the problem to creating solutions and embedding information security behaviors that affect risk positively. Many organizations recognize people as their biggest asset, yet many still fail to recognize the need to secure ‘the human element’ of information security. In essence, people should be an organization’s strongest control.

During this webcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, will will discuss how organizations can develop and implement an information security awareness culture that will engage with employees at all levels. Please register via the link below for the free webcast which takes place on Wednesday, September 9 at 9 a.m. (ET).
