Description

Abstract:: Organizations are having difficulties finding cyber talent. They also need to change the perception that cyber security is just an IT problem. By creatively making use of all people across the organization, over time the organization can maximize its security, while minimizing the need to look externally to hire specialized security staff. By studying the general types of departments that exist in an organization, and associated roles and responsibilities for each department, security professionals can define department specific security tasks that can raise the bar for security. These new Business Integrated Security Roles© (BISRs©) break down a long-standing division between the security department and the lines of business. Security Integrators champion the process and help monitor progress relating to building security into their business lines. A variety of online resources can be used to help with training employees on how to perform various security tasks. The creation of customized training is also highly encouraged, where possible. If an organization is fortunate, they will peak the interest of employees in various business lines who may not have thought about a career in security in the past. This will create a pipeline for new, cost effective security talent acquisition, while improving overall talent retention at the firm.
