Privacy & Security Brainiacs
In March 2023, the U.S. White House published its National Cybersecurity Strategy. It emphasizes the need for all businesses to “minimize the harms from cyber incidents to society's most vulnerable, and defend our share digital ecosystem."
The need for organizations and individuals to be educated to better protect security was also emphasized throughout the Strategy. As one example, “This strategy will take a comprehensive and coordinated approach to expanding the national cyber workforce, improving its diversity, and increasing access to cyber educational and training pathways.”
Our online courses and awareness products and services strongly support this initiative.
“Privacy and cybersecurity for your life”
We have been advocating for 25+ years the need to provide cybersecurity and privacy education. This should occur in the form of not only formal courses, but also using ongoing awareness communications and activities.
Organizations and individuals learning from such educational activities will be better prepared to protect the organizations where individuals work and to comply with legal obligations for such education. Such education will also demonstrate due diligence to regulators, auditors, and business clients.
Just as importantly, such education will also enable individuals to use what they learn to protect their own privacy and secure their own devices when they are away from work. This helps them to better understand, from their personal viewpoint, the true value of privacy and cybersecurity education. It makes it clear that such understanding truly does add value to their lives, along with the lives of those to whose personal data they have access while performing their job responsibilities.
