Getting Executive Buy-in to Cybersecurity Culture 2023 | Information Security Media Group (ISMG) | 11 September 2023 | Virtual

Rapidly increasing cyberthreats, including a near doubling of ransomware attacks, exponential growth in IOT and AI deployment, digital transformation to the cloud, plus a worsening geopolitical situation, make implementing a strong security culture a necessity. It’s not enough for individual staff to be made aware of cyberthreats; today organisations need to inculcate best practices in security as the new normal behaviour across the entire workforce.

Best practice behaviours need to become embedded so that newcomers will adopt them without needing to be trained.

But many executives are focussed on their primary remit, delivering whatever mission their role is tasked and incentivised to deliver. Strategies need to be deployed to ensure understanding of how a good security culture contributes to delivering on the organisation’s primary mission.

Discussion Points

• Why Security Culture is different from training and awareness
• How to make it personal for C-level
• What it takes to set up and sustain successful security culture
• How AI will impact the situation – reskilling, job profiles changes, the need to prepare and get ahead of the curve.
