31 July 2020 is the admin appreciation day. Time to bring the heroes from the background into the frontend for a big thank you!
The admin is often inconspicuous or even invisible. But at the latest when the last reminder to change the personal password has expired and you no longer have e-mail access via your end devices, the admin quickly becomes your personal superhero. Time to say thank you! Should it be a fruit basket or maybe a bouquet of flowers? The best gift we can give him is to relieve him! See how …

Create Security Awareness

“But isn’t there an annual training for greater cyber security?” The digital world is constantly changing. Every day hackers come up with new ideas to overcome virtual walls of protection.

Involve Managers

If your supervisor uses only simple passwords or stores them insecurely, he sets the bar pretty low for his department in terms of security policy compliance. But for a true and sustainable cyber security culture, every single employee is required! Even the best security solution cannot work magic if employees whisper passwords, fall for phishing emails or do not lock their PC. A mentality for internal security only emerges when employees understand that security tools relieve them and when they are aware of the risks and consequences of security breaches. It is therefore important to divide responsibility within the company and, above all, to train managers to keep an eye on their employees and regularly monitor compliance with security policies. They should also always set a good example and demonstrate to their employees how significant professional password management looks like in practice.
