    Cybersecurity challenges related to secure behavior

    Varied learning and tech understanding

    Different generations have varied levels of cyber-risk understanding and comfort with technology, making it difficult for initiatives to have the same impact across diverse groups.

    Increased usage of personal devices for work

    Switching between personal and work devices makes employees more vulnerable to data breaches due to unsecure Wi-Fi networks.

    Spanning different geographic regions

    Employees find it difficult to abide by local regulations and policies, with nearly one-third believing security policies are hard to understand, inflexible and not appropriate for their roles.

    Misconception that business needs outweigh cybersecurity risks

    Employees may prioritize performance objectives over cybersecurity risks to accomplish their tasks as quickly as possible.

    Build a Culture of Security Consciousness — Introducing the Gartner PIPE Framework

    The human element is the most prominent contributor to data breaches and legacy approaches delivering curriculum-based, awareness-centric programs are no longer effective. CISOs must look beyond merely raising “security awareness” and foster a contextually appropriate security culture.
