Follow on Google News | Information Security Forum to Discuss the Role of the End User in Upcoming WebcastBy: Information Security Forum Traditionally, organizations have run security awareness initiatives, either standalone or alongside other work, to address unintentional or accidental outcomes. Their expectations were that imparting knowledge would motivate people to take information security seriously and act accordingly, thereby: · Preventing incidents due to human error · Detecting such incidents earlier · Providing a greater resistance to threats turning into incidents · Delaying the impact of an incident to allow the organization time to respond · Reducing the overall impact of incidents However, this reliance on awareness initiatives – and the vast sums that have been spent on them over recent decades – seems to have been misplaced. During this webcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, will addresses why organizations need to shift from promoting awareness of the problem to creating solutions and embedding information security behaviors that affect risk positively. Instead of simply making people aware of their information security responsibilities and how they should respond, the answer for businesses of all sizes is to embed positive information security behaviors that will result in "stop and think" behavior becoming a habit and part of an organization's information security culture.
