Beyond awareness training
Building a sustainable security culture - and why it matters

Security solutions can only do so much to protect a business.
This whitepaper shares tips that will help you build a security-aware culture that improves your organization’s posture.
The tips include:
- Accepting that people are targeted the most in cyber attacks.
- Involving senior leadership in building stakeholder support.
