Human error is the cause of 95% of cybersecurity breaches, according to IBM*

This staggering stat underlines the critical need for businesses to engage their employees as the first line of defence against cyber threat.

We’ve teamed up with Scarlett Abbott, experts in employee engagement, to develop innovative strategies that enhance your team’s role in cybersecurity defence.

Why Focus on the Human Element?

Employees are your first line of defence. Their actions can either protect or compromise your security. It’s crucial to educate and motivate them to create a culture of security awareness.

Engaging Employees in Cybersecurity

Engaging employees involves more than training. It requires a strategic approach combining behavioural science and practical techniques.  Scarlett Abbott’s strategic approach follows six steps:

Six Steps to Successful Cyber Protection

1. Engage and educate leaders on cybersecurity and their role in compliance and change.
2. Gather Insights: Understand employee views on cybersecurity risks.
3. Create a Plan: Align IT and Communication teams to deliver clear messages.
4. Develop a Narrative: Consistently highlight the importance of cybersecurity.
5. Upskill Managers: Equip managers to maintain compliance and support their teams.
6. Campaign Plan: Implement engaging campaigns to address specific cyber risks, like phishing.
