1A: People (Technical)
The people on our networks hold the ‘keys to the kingdom.’ Everyone from the individual end user, to our system administrators, to our organization’s senior leaders can be (and will be) targeted. Ensuring all aspects of our users’ accounts are properly secured, including: login (using multiple factor authentication), email (training on spear phishing campaigns), and ensuring least privilege is enforced (from basic user to system administrators); are major keys to successfully defending our organizations’ networks. Cyber security professionals must have a functional and technical understanding of user anomalous activity, and have systems in place to detect, inform, and repair anomalous user activity before (and after) any security incident. Additionally, organizations must have in place policies and procedures to train, inform, and potentially discipline users who act outside of their specific roles on the network. These concepts are crucial to the overall security of our organizations’ networks.

1B: People (Leadership)
The number one attack vector for our cyber security systems has been, and more than likely will always be, our people. As technology and security improve, user awareness must also improve. Identifying insider threats, whether malicious or accidental, is a crucial part of securing an organization’s systems. Leaders must know their people, what drives them, and how to be honest with them, in order to ensure organizational loyalty, trust, and reliability. Accidents will occur, however, minimizing those accidents, and understanding how to mitigate them in the future, is paramount to securing our organizations through their people.
