Employees' indifference to information security poses major threat to organizations.
The study looked at how employees play a role in information security at work. Employees can be a threat by causing security issues, but they are also important for keeping things safe. The researchers found that employees don't always take proactive steps to protect information, and they often don't see information security as a priority. Information security managers tend to see employees as a problem, while employees see themselves as a valuable resource. Simply telling employees what to do isn't enough to improve security - they need more interactive training and communication. Getting employees involved in security processes is the most effective way to improve information security at work.
