It’s critical that organisations create a culture of cyber security awareness, according to an industry-leading expert.

Martin Ferguson, Director of Policy and Research at Socitm, says staff at all levels should be engaged and contribute to protecting their organisation from attack.

“Achieving this requires specialist skills and insight into the human factors side of the equation”, Ferguson says. “That is why it is vital to engage the HR team in helping to develop a strong cybersecurity culture and reinforcing that everyone in an organisation has a role to play.”
