What is security culture?
Security culture is the set of shared attitudes, habits and norms that shape how people in an organization think and act about security. In a strong culture, people report suspicious activity quickly, ask before they share, and see security as part of their job.
How it works
Culture shows up in behavior: how fast people report phishing, whether managers talk about security, and whether people who make a mistake come forward. Surveys measure attitudes; behavior data shows whether they hold up.
Programs build culture by recognizing good behavior, coaching rather than blaming, giving people their own view of where they stand, and making managers part of the effort.
Why it matters
Controls cannot cover every decision people make. A culture where people act as the strongest defense catches what technology misses, and makes every other security investment work harder.
How Living Security helps
Living Security scorecards show each employee where they stand, why and how to improve, give managers a team view, and give leadership the trend. Coaching replaces blame.
