Thanks #3novex, for the excellent opportunity to speak and share my experience in implementing strategies and practices to raise employee awareness in information security. At the forum, I presented an approach where I proposed specific methods that organisations can adopt to train their employees in a way that maintains their motivation to learn. It is important to break down the strategy into 3 key areas: 1. Training methods and tools. 2. Objectives. 3. Audience. Similarly, implementing the strategy involves 3 stages: 1. Training. 2. Assessment. 3. Reinforcement. I also covered over 20 criteria for selecting service providers for training and employee testing. In conclusion, we discussed both negative and positive methods of motivating staff to build an effective human firewall.

I disagree! For those passionate about cybersecurity and the thrill of continual learning, it can be an ever-exciting field. The sense of fulfillment derived from safeguarding a company against threats stands out in comparison to the routine tasks of an IT operations analyst. While the routine tasks in an IT operations job such as installing drivers, pdf readers, Office apps, managing AD, etc. etc. every day lack excitement, the same can't be said for the dynamic and engaging nature of a career in cybersecurity. It offers continuous challenges and opportunities for learning, making it a thrilling and rewarding field.

CISOs, your staff’s job satisfaction drops precipitously in years 1-3. Makes sense – the ‘new-job’ excitement has worn off & they haven’t seen big promotions yet. But these folks are the future of your team, so focus on them. Ensure that clear career paths exist & are articulated. Invest in professional development – both technical & leadership skills. For high potentials, have them lead initiatives early & introduce them to projects outside of infosec.   #infosec #securityindustry #securityjobs #jobsatisfaction
