• Video details

  Almost everyone is working from home these days and it's created a strange, chaotic environment for each of us, our organizations and for our families.  As we all learn how to communicate, share Wi-Fi, and take meetings remotely, we must also think about keeping ourselves, our teams, and our families cybersecure.  Did you know that the most common way the malicious actors do damage is through fake emails and websites that unsuspecting people like us click on?  Technology won't keep our organizations and our family secure enough-- our behaviors will.  Managers think that training will drive appropriate behaviors, since it ‘teaches’ everyone what they should and should not do.  But research shows that training is not enough. Sloan research from CAMS (cams.mit.edu) on building a culture of cybersecurity addresses this need. Culture is made up of the organization’s values, attitudes and beliefs which are shaped by external factors such as industry and societal norms, and a number of mechanisms that every manager, and anyone working from home, can put in place.  In this session, we will discuss some of the current ways malicious actors are trying to get our money, steal company data and infiltrate our systems.  We will also talk about actions you can take tomorrow to both raise awareness and change behaviors of those around you to keep everyone more secure.
