Re-thinking The Human Factor with Bruce HallasKey performance metricsIn this episode we re-visit an earlier theme explored in this series. The theme of mesurement and metrics. The question of how to measure awareness, behaviour or culture is something we consistently come across here at Re-thinking the Human Factor when exploring opportunities to work with clients. There's an palpable feeling, across industry chatter, that there's a real lack of maturity when it comes to how we demonstrate the effectiveness of our effrots to influence employee awareness, behaviour and culture. However, there is hope. In this episode I talk with Bernie Smith. Bernie has a focus on...2024-08-301h 11
Re-thinking The Human Factor with Bruce HallasThe security function's culture.In this episode we take a peek at the role of the security teams’ own culture and its impact on the broader organisational culture. This, is an important perspective, because whilst many commentators focus on influencing organisational culture they haven’t considered the role that the value and behaviours of the security team has in influencing positive security outcomes across the business. To help us explore this perspective, on cultural forces at play, we have a guest who knows a thing or two about how cultures are formed and influenced. Lianne Potter studied in social anth...2024-04-2145 min

Influencing target audiences awareness of products and stacking the odds in their clients favour, that the target audience will choose their product over their competitors.

Re-thinking The Human Factor with Bruce HallasA Human Resource view on Information Security Awareness and EducationThe role of the human resources function, in the the overall process of employee awareness, behavioru and culture can't be under stated. In the early days of my research, at Re-thinking the Human Factor, it was very apparent that HR was a major stakeholder. From what I like to call KPI's clash, where stakeholders KPI's sometimes clash against each other, through to employee performance and development, and from HR processes such as starters, movers and leavers, through to organisational change. The HR department can add a lot of value to the process of delivering change in employee...2023-12-0446 min
Re-thinking The Human Factor with Bruce HallasEmbracing Diverse Skills When Building an Effective Education and Awareness Team.When I first got involved in “information security” 20+ years ago, I found myself almost entirely surrounded by industry peers whose training and experience was in technology or technology disciplines. My training in law, marketing and finance, and my experience in business development, marketing, recruitment and even a stint in purchasing and supplies all seemed out of line with the world of IT security as it was called back then. As I came to understand, during my own research in human behaviour and culture, my lack of an education in technology meant I was culturally and even physically wire...2023-11-2052 min
Re-thinking The Human Factor with Bruce HallasThe Science Behind MetricsFinding relevent metrics, for security awareness, behaviour and culture has been a long standing challenge which the information security industry has struggled hard to address. Now, when I reflect on how I personally tackled metrics, around the human factor, before I kicked off my research programme here at Re-thinking the Human Factor, I recognise I had an in-mature approach. That approach focused on what data I knew I could get rather than what was useful. Some industry folks called this "vanity metrics." That's all changed now, and that change started off, with getting back to basics by l...2023-11-0650 min
Re-thinking The Human Factor with Bruce HallasInsights from Educational Psychology for Information Security ProfessionalsEducating employees on their roles and responsilities when it comes to information security and data protection, is common sense, and, even if you don't think that's the case, it is, without a doubt, a regulatory obligation for many. So, what is "education" and what is going on in the world of learning and development which might help us to re-think the human factor? In this episode our guest, Teisa Marshik, a respected educational psychologist and passionate educator, shares how her's and her colleagues approach to educating learners is changing.
