Rather than viewing cybersecurity as a hindrance, we’d like to offer a few tips to make it a ‘normal’ part of your employee’s everyday routine and your on-going corporate culture.
Here are our Cyber-Security Top-Seven Tips:
- Start the work week with a ‘Monday Morning Motivation’ meeting (think ‘brief’, like a pep talk) and explain ‘why’ cybersecurity is important for all employees to do their part in protecting the company’s business.
- Educate your employees on how to maintain safe practices. What they don’t know might hurt you, your business, and even your employees.
- Keep it fun! Offer an end-of-quarter prize for the employee who demonstrates the most security measures.
- Allocate funds in your budget for cybersecurity education. The funds you spend on educating your employees can only help you save money in the long run.
- Maintain a solid, non-frictional relationship with your IT team. Remember, they are in the position to help you.
- Be positive and reinforcing with your employees when it comes to standardizing cybersecurity within your company. Make sure employees feel like they are an important part of keeping the business safe.
- Lead by example. Cybersecurity starts from the top. Show your employees how its done and let the security-traits trickle down the line.
