Security is important in any organization, but getting employees to follow protocol can be a challenge.
Oh, these people who are using insecure passwords, clicking open phishing emails and installing malicious apps-why don't they understand? We'll show them, right? If you don't follow the security protocols, you're in for it.

Getting people on your side and wanting to improve security is much more sustainable.
Right? We both want better security compliance, so think it over.
