Overseeing cybersecurity at a data-focused company is a massive job, with attacks to monitor, updates to deploy, and the challenge of preventing employees from accidentally enabling a breach by clicking on the wrong link. Effective security requires broad awareness, especially given the number of remote-only employees hired during the pandemic. Many companies miss the opportunity to really change behaviors because they aren’t able to connect with how people do their job.
By giving these new influencers a bit of special attention, a small security team can multiply their impact across the company.
The best defense is to ensure someone on every team at your company is thinking about security and sharing best practices with their teammates.
