Creating a Security Culture
February 2018
Every organization has a unique culture—a shared behavior that shapes the way employees and business partners interact with each other. One of the most important parts of that culture is security awareness. From the way we address external security threats, to the access controls we place on our internal networks, it all works together as on ongoing effort to defend our organization. And we all play a role in improving our culture of security awareness. Find out what that means, how it applies to our professional and personal lives, and what happens when culture is undervalued.
