Building Cybersecurity Awareness Through Imaginative Internal Communication

As the world grapples with pandemics, epidemics, and the many associated changes they produce, including remote work, another kind of virus is infiltrating businesses, municipalities, and organizations: cybercrime. The risk is expected to increase as more companies permanently adopt hybrid work arrangements that risk leaving networks unsecured and data exposed, and as more cyber criminals make millions from a single data ransom. 

 While many companies are spending heavily to secure their hardware and networks, the reality is that technology itself is not enough to ward off expensive or damaging attacks. Each person in an organization plays a critical role in protecting data and information. One misstep by one person in one moment can result in a catastrophic breach that potentially exposes the organization, the relationships it shares with clients, and even the personal information of all its employees.
