Security Culture
Security culture means the shared beliefs, values, attitudes, and assumptions about security undertaken within your organization. It’s how security is inculcated in your company’s everyday activities and is demonstrated by how everyone, including employees and entities, behaves and takes security-related actions.
In a perfect security culture:
- Everyone gets that security is super important for the company to do well
- All the employees follow security hygiene and make smart choices to stay safe
- Security matches up with the main things the company wants to achieve
- Instead of being a hassle, security is something really important to everyone
Benefits of security culture
- When people are part of a security-conscious team, they care about keeping things safe. They’ll be more likely to watch out for security problems, even those tricky ones that come from inside the team
- When there is a security culture, there are rules to make sure everything stays secure, like who can enter certain areas. Hence, everyone will keep following these rules, making sure things are done right
- In a place with a strong security culture, insider threats won’t have much of a chance. People will know what to look for, making the risks of problems happening much smaller
