Different cultures will influence whether people do what they should when it comes to security, for example a culture in which leadership demonstrate a strong commitment to, and respect for, security is much more likely to result in positive security behaviours than one in which leadership are dismissive of security.

The phenomenon of social proof, in which people model their behaviour on how others act, means that the role of leadership in security culture is vital.

Great security awareness training, that is part of a healthy cyber security culture and that is aimed at encouraging positive security behaviours, is essential.

It's been encouraging to see, in recent years, that more and more CISOs and security teams understand that security can't be solved with technology alone.

What are the biggest misconceptions about security culture and what can security leaders do in order to make sure their employees are more security conscious?
