Human Resources

Human Resources is at the core of every step of an organization’s cyber defense. Human resources professionals often handle some of an organization’s most sensitive data, including social security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, banking information, and more, making it their responsibility to secure such data.

Human resources teams are also responsible for ensuring all employees and staff uphold cybersecurity policies and best practices. This starts with the hiring and recruitment process and goes on to encompass code of conduct training, handling security violations, and implementing repercussions when need be.

The function of human resources focuses on:

Enabling a cybersecurity culture through employee training, performance management, and implementing best practices.
Filling cybersecurity roles.
Ensuring all employees maintain and update cybersecurity knowledge, training, and skills.
Protecting sensitive employee data.
Leading efforts for mitigation of insider threats.
