Improving organisational cybersecurity
Tarnveer Singh, Sarah Y. Zheng · 2025

Organisational cybersecurity also requires people-oriented strategies for taking everyone on the same journey to better protecting your organisation. This chapter lays out six avenues for better human-centred security measures.
