Linked: How to build a culture of cybersecurity

This is the one thing I’ve discussed before regarding where we might fall short in our cybersecurity training. We don’t hold anyone accountable.

Make cybersecurity part of formal employee evaluation.

Give people a reason to care. Much like I talked a couple of weeks ago about creating a training culture, provides a way for people to learn more from others. Give them space and time to talk about security. Recommend they read some security blogs, meet to share stories about the latest phishing information, etc.

Let them do that, and don’t penalize them for spending part of their week getting educated instead of billing hours, making calls, closing tickets, or whatever other productivity measurements you are using. That’s how you create a culture, not by giving them a 30-minute training once a year.

Go read the whole thing and think about what we can be doing differently.

    The Problem with Total Surveillance

    According to the emails I’ve received just in the past couple of weeks:

    I’m actively seeking employment in Pennsylvania
    I own rental property in Las Vegas
    I have wives and children enrolled in schools in NC, VA and Canada.
    I travel back and forth between San Francisco and New Zealand frequently
    I frequent some “interesting” dating sites, including at least one that caters to cheating spouses. (Great, thanks to whoever used my email address to sign up for that at the same time my wife is across the country, that doesn’t look odd!!!!)
    I am paying for cable internet/TV service for a young lady in Michigan. (Student using their stepfather’s payment info maybe?)
    I shop at some online retailers in England.
    Now, none of that is true
