Summary

Employees are often the weakest link in the security chain of an organization. Despite having strong technical controls, one small negligence from an employee (e.g. clicking on phishing link, downloading a malware from internet etc.) could result in a major impact for the organization. Embedding a positive security culture amongst the employees is vital for any organization. Building a positive security behavior shall be a key constituent of the awareness strategy for enterprises. Measures adopted towards building a positive security behavior shall strengthen the overall security posture of organizations thereby reducing incidents and enhancing customer confidence.

An effective information security awareness program will help in minimizing the probability of employees falling prey to malicious attacks and information going into wrong hands. Employees shall be made aware of what are the right (Good) and wrong (Bad) security behaviors. They should also be able to identify security threats and vulnerabilities and report security incidents.
