Encouraging a security-first mindset
A cyber incident can be catastrophic for any company, and all firms would be well-advised to adopt a watertight security approach to security practices.
Despite this, the UK government’s Cyber security breaches survey 2023 found that UK cyber hygiene has declined since 2021, with the use of password policies falling from 79% to 70% and network firewalls from 75% to 67% across the period.
There is still a need for better enforcement of cyber security policies throughout businesses, but also for security to be embraced as vital a consideration as any business process.
In this episode, Rory is joined by Steve Furnell, IEEE senior member and professor of cybersecurity at the University of Nottingham to discuss how IT leaders can drive a cultural shift within their organizations to put security at the forefront of decision-making.
