Instill A Culture Of Data Security And Privacy

When it comes to data security and privacy, Forrester has observed in client interactions time and time again that security teams remain overly fixated on the wrong adversary: their own organization. The headache and drama on the home front hinders efforts to thwart the real adversaries out in the wild. Security and risk (S&R) pros and the business have to reorient themselves, settle their differences, and start looking at the root of the problem: security empowerment and corporate culture. This report reintroduces the human element and its importance in ensuring data security and privacy throughout the organization. This is an update of a previously published report; Forrester reviews and updates it periodically for continued relevance and accuracy.
