Employee awareness is still a vitally important part of the security mix, whether in the workplace or at home. But it’s always been a challenge to achieve.
Psychologists tell us it’s mainly because we’re looking at behavioural change the wrong way.
The Information Action Fallacy
One renowned habit expert calls it the information action fallacy, and the false notion that the more information we throw at humans, the more likely they are to embrace the message.
Decades of security awareness training have proven that most humans don’t learn well because they’re told to, but only if they want to.
Security awareness is fundamentally about changing just a handful of habits. Shedding ourselves of some bad habits, and permanently adopting some good ones.
And according to behavior experts the best and perhaps only way for any human to achieve that is to have a strong personal and emotional motivation.
And when it comes to security awareness, we believe we’ve found the nerve.
