Even if people are the element most susceptible to phishing attempts, or the link most likely to be negligent in security practices, it becomes incredibly difficult to foster a culture of security awareness if we demoralize or denigrate the individuals we need to help drive our security priorities.

How does a security team avoid disempowering fellow employees? The solution is quite simple: be aware of the words and phrases you use to describe the people of the PPT model.

The stress of constant security incidents and continuous fear of potential data breaches lead many security teams to operate with a rigid, iron-fist management approach.

Trust is critical to the success of our security paradigm, which means we must take every opportunity possible to ensure that security enables the business.

Those outside the security team may have ingenious approaches to fixing security problems that we may never have thought of - solutions that both mitigate the security issue and don't hinder the day-to-day work of employees.
