Building collective pride in a brand or organisation is one of the most effective ways of engaging staff across all areas; security included. This was demonstrated this summer, with the now-legendary #savethesurprise campaign.
The Security Company online at http://www.thesecurityco.com/news/expert-comment/how-to-leverage-collective-pride-to-achieve-information-security/ looks at how to guide staff in safe and responsible usage of social media while simultaneously engendering a sense of pride and engagement in their organisation.
Lisa Spriggs of The Security Company says: “Draconian measures such as banning social media run the risk of alienating employees. It’s far more forward-thinking to recognise Twitter and Facebook and give clear, mature guidance on responsible and productive usage through a social media policy.”

The rapid increase of remote working, social media and the use of staff mobile devices all increase the risk of security breaches in any organisation, but are businesses prioritising security awareness as the first line of defence? As consumerisation gallops away finding ever-new horizons, why is much of business still gazing at an empty stable? The Security Company discusses the issues in a new report published at: http://www.thesecurityco.com/news/expert-comment/why-are-we-questioning-the-place-of-security-awareness/.
“To position security Awareness as an essential element for any business is vital to tackle the issues head on,” says Lisa Spriggs of The Security Company. “The perception that security is an ‘IT’ issue is one of the biggest problems.”
