Human Resources departments alone cannot defeat hackers but HR pros can help harden defenses.
There was no slowdown in cybersecurity threats when the calendar turned over to 2022. Already one global organization reported 95 breaches from January, which together compromised 66 million records. Other hacks probably occurred but haven’t yet been discovered.
Some attacks inevitably involve newly discovered security holes and cutting-edge techniques. Sadly, however, large amounts of personal, confidential, and proprietary information are put at risk because organizations fail to address known vulnerabilities, including the human ones.
This is where Human Resources departments come in. As specialists in the people side of the business, HR can assist in defeating common social engineering tactics. What’s more, as owners of many policies and procedures, HR can bring the rest of the organization in line with cybersecurity industry practices.
At a time when HR is still reeling from the remote work revolution and myriad recruitment and retention challenges, adding another area of strategic responsibility may be a daunting prospect. Asurint wants to make it as easy as possible for you to be effective!
