As our #CyberSecMonth campaign ‘Your brain is the first line of defence’ comes to a close, Urpo Kaila, Head of Security Policies at CSC, shares his reflections on #InformationSecurity and on what he believes to be also the ‘last line of defence’:
“The last line of defence is not about listing requirements, regulations and standards, or the latest hype in #cybersecurity tools. It is you!"

We often hear that the #HumanFactor is the weakest link in the #security chain, but as cyber attacks continue to evolve, so too do our protective measures and #SecurityAwareness

#CrisisManagement is everyone's business.
For #CyberSecMonth, Maria Edblom Tauson (@sunet) explains why it's fundamental for all of us to be prepared for a crisis and to know exactly what to do when a crisis strikes.
Crisis management is a collective responsibility, and during a crisis, collaboration is the key. Being prepared is always better than being caught off guard.
