This guidance article for National Cybersecurity Awareness Month advises security teams to prioritize people-focused programs—emphasizing that humans are involved in most breaches—and to measure meaningful outcomes (for example, phish reporting speed rather than only click rates). It recommends regular, digestible training, collecting feedback on processes, sharing practical tips, and reframing security as a trusted, value-driving partner rather than a barrier, to improve organizational security posture and buy-in.
