The Security Culture Playbook: An Executive Guide to Reducing Risk and Developing Your Human Defense Layer

This book aims to bring focus to a topic that lots of people talk about, but very few understand: security culture. Between the covers of this work, you'll find practical, actionable insights into what security culture really is, how it can be broken down into understandable and measurable subcomponents, and how you can use these insights to intentionally shape your security culture. This is how to create an organizational culture that prioritizes security so that you have reduced human risk. This is how to impart knowledge, infuse values, and shape behavioral outcomes, and foster social pressures and patterns.
