Webinar - Security Culture - has COVID-19 Changed the Landscape

CPD

Come and join us for another online CPD webinar, available to Security Institute members and guests. As many security professionals know, a key component of reducing the risk from insiders is a strong security culture where everybody understands their security responsibilities. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the working practices inside many organisations have now changed significantly with one prime example being that many employees now work from home and may continue to do so for the foreseeable future. As a result, this means that staff that once fully understood their security responsibilities are facing a new range of threats that they may be unaware of. In this session, Sarah Austerberry CSyP FSyI will look at the importance of security culture, how the current changes occurring within many organisations and their landscapes will impact the effectiveness of your security culture and some tips to help develop a strong security culture. You can earn 2 formal CPD points for attending
