Dealing with a team member surpassing risk limits. How do you maintain cybersecurity standards?

While it may not be common, there are instances when a team member may surpass risk limits. To maintain cybersecurity standards while building a culture of trust and openness, the first step is to understand the reasons behind their decisions or actions. By clarifying the root cause, you can approach the issue rationally and effectively. Is this an isolated incident or a pattern among a group of employees? Are the rules and standards clear and easy to follow? These questions will help uncover whether the problem lies with the individual, technology, or procedural gaps. Addressing the root cause ensures that you’re solving the right issue and strengthening your cybersecurity framework for the long term.

his, adopting a Zero Trust Security Model is vital. This approach ensures that every user, including internal ones, must authenticate before accessing resources, preventing rogue actors from causing damage 🚨 Additionally, regular cybersecurity readiness assessments help identify vulnerabilities and measure security posture, ensuring any gaps in defences are swiftly addressed

When a team member surpasses risk limits, it’s crucial to maintain cybersecurity standards by taking immediate action. First, conduct a thorough risk assessment to understand the impact. Implement access controls to limit further exposure and monitor activities closely. Provide targeted training to address the specific risk behaviors and reinforce security policies. Use Red Teaming exercises to simulate attacks and identify vulnerabilities
