Creating a Culture of Security and Effective Training Programs

Rachael NarelSolution Strategist



The security of systems is dependent on the people that use them. Effective institutional assessment of risks and implementation of secure practices rely on a shared understanding of the threats and challenges facing the institutions….

Lohrmann, 2014



• Time and budget for training

• Say one thing and do another

• Lack of buy-in

• Not organizationally mandated

• “I’m not a target” mindset

• History of failed programs

• Lack of communication or purpose

• Change is hard….

Some Challenges….


IT SecuritySolutionsOrganizational Culture

Edgar Schein



• The leadership team needs to support and promote a security culture– Does the strategy support the realization of the goals? (do people

know the strategy?)

– Is the right structure in place?

– Do key business processes support the strategy?

– Are the outcomes and behaviors that are rewarded and recognized support the strategy?

– Does the current talent of the organization support the strategy?

It starts at the top…



• Security belongs to everyone

• Overall awareness

• Rewards and recognition for those who do the right thing

• Creation of a security community

• Fun and engaging

• Continual learning and improvement

• Communication

Key Elements of a Security Culture


IT SecuritySolutionsEngage the entire system



• Security training ≠ cyber awareness program

• Ongoing, continuous, communication, reinforcement

• Go beyond compliance and ‘check the box’ mindset

• Keep it simple!

Cyber Security Awareness PROGRAM



• Just one piece of the program

• Not a point in time event

• Relevant to the audience and consistent with the values and goals of the organization

• Influence behavior changes that deliver measureable results

Training IS important!


IT SecuritySolutionsUse a variety of approaches


IT SecuritySolutionsMeasure and share results



• Is there a security policy that is enforced across the entire organization?

• Do employees know the policy?

• What are the practices and technologies in place that can detect a breach?

• Do employees know what to do if they detect a security violation?
