Human Firewall – Your Most Important Security Asset !!
When it comes to cybersecurity, organizations look to tools and protecting their digital assets. But the most overlooked and unpredictable asset is the human aspect of cybersecurity.
Common Reasons for Loss of Human Firewall
> Employee Negligence
> Social Engineering
> Vulnerable Security Endpoints
> Internal Sabotage
How can organizations address the challenge?
IT security policies/tools deployed are only good when the users follow the set rules & policies for accessing the business information. Based on our learning of over two decades, we follow the following steps to achieve minimum or zero risk to our data.
> All employees must attend a quarterly induction program. It details the company processes, employee benefits, reinforces the security policy, and highlights the Do’s and Don’ts.
> Regular internal communication on the latest global security risks
> In addition to primary KRAs, our employees are evaluated on adherence to company processes and security policy, specific to information security and data backup protocols.
> For our larger clients, we have an employee reward & recognition program to generate awareness on Zero Threat security & policies to businesses.
> Every quarter we undertake a formal evaluation of user training/risk mitigation to the business. Every executive’s review is consolidated and presented to the management during the quarterly management review meeting.
