Cybersecurity concerns can bring a chill to even the most
accomplished, seasoned business executives. Making the
right changes to properly secure an organization can seem
daunting and complex because cybersecurity cannot be
ignored or neglected. Research shows cybersecurity is a crucial
driver of business value. This continues to be reinforced as global
scandals around data security are increasingly publicized and as
consumers have higher awareness and expectations around pri-vacy
and security.

When we talk about a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity,
we often focus on IT workers. However, the strongest approach to
workplace security is multi-pronged – it takes commitment from
the C-suite, IT team and human resources department.
HR departments have the power to develop effective security
strategies and policies, hire the right people and nurture a strong
corporate culture. There are various tactics HR departments can
deploy to take an active role in security strategy and be among the
front line of defense against cyber threats.
