Cyber Security for Business – What Users Think.
At Greenlight Computers we deal with Cyber Security matters every day. Be that helping clients with queries or advising on how to deal with the latest threats or researching the latest tools to help manage the cyber threat.
Because we are out there with you, on your sites, in your offices, we hear you. We see when your staff get weary, adhering to cybersecurity practices can certainly be a pain at times. It’s not that they don’t value the importance of protecting your organisation’s digital assets, they absolutely do.
Cyber security challenges that staff face.
Additional steps and inconvenience
Many security measures involve additional steps, like multifactor authentication, frequent password changes, and complex password requirements. While these steps are crucial, they can slow down your work and become irritating.
Restricted access and productivity barriers
Sometimes, security measures restrict your access to certain websites, tools, or data. This can be frustrating when you are trying to get your work done and hit a security roadblock.
Overwhelming rules and policies
The sheer volume of rules, policies, and best practices related to cybersecurity can be overwhelming. Remembering all the dos and don’ts, as well as the consequences of not following them, can be a lot to take in.
Password management challenges
Managing numerous passwords and ensuring they meet the security requirements can be a headache. It’s easy to get locked out of accounts, which wastes valuable time.
Fear of making mistakes
The fear of making a cybersecurity mistake is always lurking in the back of your mind. One wrong click or accidental disclosure of sensitive information could have serious consequences. This need to be constantly vigilant adds stress to your daily tasks.
Compliance and documentation burden
Sometimes you may be required to document your adherence to security practices, which means additional paperwork and reporting tasks. It can be time-consuming and feels like unnecessary bureaucracy.
Greenlight’s experience and solutions
In our experience staff do understand the need for cybersecurity practices, but it’s not always a smooth or enjoyable process. There’s a constant tension between the need for security and the desire for efficiency and ease of work. Whilst staff recognise the critical role cybersecurity plays, it can still feel like a pain due to the extra steps, stress, and the burden of maintaining a high level of vigilance.
With years of experience in the field Greenlight has come across many of these issues, and more. The tools and services we can offer can help to make managing cyber security more palatable and less like a chore. Why not get in touch with us at Greenlight and let’s have a chat.
