Answer:-------------
The growing trend of blurring lines between personal and business activities online:-------
We are starting to see a kind of “blurring-of-the-lines” between personal activity on the Internet, and the activities that are done from a business perspective. For example, people often use their work email address for personal things, and/or they don’t know how to disable certain device tracking settings, such as cookies, that track their every move. Unfortunately, they don’t believe that it’s actually a problem, when indeed, it is. It’s like leaving the door open for people with malintent to send phishing emails so targeted that it’s often hard to decipher what’s real.
Continuous education:---------------
At Scripps Health, we implemented a mandatory, continuous education
program for employees that helps them to understand how their
personal actions on business devices, emails, and so forth, can
have a detrimental effect on the organization.
It all starts with humans, and whether intentional or unintentional, we all make mistakes. Thus, we are working to reduce these behaviors while avoiding the creation of a negative and overly complex experience for our employees. From a user perspective, security is attached to everything we do. We aren’t always aware of that, and we need to be. From an IT perspective, it’s around understanding business process in order to build the right cybersecurity framework.
Having the right tools in place:-------------
To continue to protect the environment, we have made a significant investment in the tools we use to keep our infrastructure safe.We believe that having the right tools in place reduces negativity and complexity in our environment. In fact, I don’t subscribe to the opinion of needing to have complexity to have security. The more complex your infrastructure is, the more exposed you are.
