Nowadays companies are willing to invest a lot of resources in cyber security to ensure that their data and company information is safeguarded, but in addition to IT solutions and consultation with IT security experts many forget the following point:
The Human Factor, i.e. the role played by the entire workforce
In actual fact most security breaches can be traced back to employees and are either caused by accidental misuse, lack of information or simple inexperience; they fall victim to hackers who deliberately target such weak points to access IT systems or data banks.
For this reason, it is vital to make your employees aware of their role in the protection of information.
In this context and on the basis of many years of experience in the field of cultural change, MindForest has put together an innovative and participative approach based on the human factor with the following objectives:
A check of the existing situation to gain a good overview and understanding of how aware the employees are of the risks of cyber security, which best practices and measures are currently in place and what is communicated in which way internally on this subject.
Putting past experiences into perspective, assess the challenges which have so far been (successfully) faced, the importance of the human factor in certain situations and the value of the information and data in question.
L’implication et l’engagement de l’ensemble des collaborateurs dans l’identification des menaces potentielles afin de co-construire des bonnes pratiques et faire naître les bons comportements grâce, entre autres, à la méthodologie Lego® Serious Play®.
Using several methods, including Lego® Serious Play®, to encourage implication and commitment on the part of all employees by identifying potential risks and defining best practices together, as well as embedding new procedures.
