Building a Human Firewall: How To Create Security Champions
Even the best technology can’t stop every phishing attempt. That’s why building a “human firewall”, employees who are vigilant, informed, and proactive, is critical to any security strategy.
The Role of Culture in Cybersecurity
Technology alone can’t address the human element, which the Verizon DBIR found is involved in 74% of breaches. The SANS Security Awareness Maturity Model notes that organisations with a mature awareness culture see fewer incidents and faster reporting times.
A single alert employee can prevent a breach that technology missed. But creating a culture of awareness takes more than occasional reminders. It requires sustained engagement, recognition, and reinforcement.
How PSUAT Builds Security Champions
PSUAT fosters a human firewall through:
- Realistic phishing simulations that keep vigilance high.
- Role-based microlearning to build relevant skills.
- Recognition and rewards for correct responses.
- Analytics to identify and mentor potential “security champions.”
