HR technology thought leader Marc Miller explores cybersecurity key themes and best practices with HR Professionals. His objective is to educate our attendees on how HR, working with IT/Security, must take the lead in educating the workforce within the organization so that the full employee population gains an understanding of the internal cybersecurity threats and how HR can build best practices to help IT/Security prevent, detect, and respond to information security threats within an organization, and to implement other measures to minimize cyber risks.
Among the topics covered are:
Today’s Cybersecurity landscape: the Impact, cost and & effect of Cyber attacks to America’s corporations over the last decade, the “Dark Web” threat etc. and HR’s role in helping IT build and communicate policies and culture to allow all employees the freedom to be “aware” and to potentially express concern about a colleagues actions.
HR’s direct involvement can be focused on these five Key areas:
1. Knowledge of the workforce
2. Support in cyber security hiring
3. Management of HRMS and protecting HR data
4. Understanding and administration of workforce rights
5. Ongoing delivery of cyber awareness to the workforce
HR’s goal is to instill a culture and mindset of Awareness and to generate formal policies to help keep the corporation safe from both internal and external cyber threats. Best practices must focus on Employee Mindset / vigilance / education about phishing, Workforce travel cyber safety best practices, Password practices and other issues in the ever changing and more threatening Cyber landscape.
