Secure Behaviour Coach (S-SBC)

As a security behaviour coach, you understand that information security relies heavily on employee behaviour. Although they are aware of the risks, they do not always exhibit the desired behaviour to prevent or respond appropriately to incidents.

This is where your expertise comes in.  Your challenges as a security behaviour coach are fascinating and current. You will face issues such as “How do I adapt my product and/or process, or how do I help the user with a behavioural change intervention?”. With your skills, you examine organisational processes for vulnerabilities in the digital domain caused by the actions of employees.

Starting from a behavioural approach, you and the team devise effective solutions to reduce the risk of incidents in organisational processes.
