How To Make the Security Department More Approachable

The best way for people to realize that it’s OK that you made a cybersecurity mistake, is to own up to the mistakes that you’ve made, said George Gerchow (@georgegerchow), CSO and svp of IT, Sumo Logic, who admits to a stupid simple mistake of copying everyone on a cc list who should have been on a bcc list. That list of names got posted everywhere.

It’s not that we want people to care about security, but rather we want them to be thinking about security reflexively and do it as a matter of their daily actions. Just as simple as we brush our teeth or put on our seatbelt in a car.
