IT Security and protection of corporate intellectual property has become an increasing global concern. Currently, most companies big and small are looking for best strategies to ensure their data is secure and well-protected against internal and external risks.
Most of these risks of data security are caused by the human factor, with or without intention, and small negligence can cause huge damage. Therefore this topic is not only a matter of IT but an important matter of HR strategies and building employees’ IT risk awareness and IT security competency as well.
At the same time, innovation, empowerment of employees and room for creativity are essential for international organizations to keep up with the fast pace of the business world. Restricting great resources through too much control might be the most risky strategy of all.
What are the options to manage security risks properly, and how can a healthy balance of trust and control in organizations look like?
Furthermore, how well can HR development and IT policies work together in this matter, to each other’s benefit and support?
SKYWAVE TECHNOLOGIES’ team has designed a professional IT SECURITY TRAINING for companies who believe in their employees’ potential and loyalty, but also intend to manage threats and risks to their business wisely and without creating a culture of mistrust but a culture of awareness & accountability.
IT SECURITY TRAINING as “Trust Tool”
In our context, trust first of all means open communication, information sharing and creating awareness within the company. Trust actually means to educate your team, to inform them and openly discuss the risks and concerns in order to create awareness in the first place.
Then define a clear security strategy and policy and get your team’s commitment through participation in this process, implement it, and then – trust.
If your team is well-informed and part of the decision-making process, they will happily follow the security strategies they understand, have helped to define and to implement.
Making your employees part of this important process, you share the same goals and show your appreciation of their opinion and support. They will be proud to enforce the new security policies, and encourage new colleagues as well.
