The cybersecurity industry is struggling to elevate the workforce, changing corporate behaviors and improving the job environment. Security professionals feel more losses than wins and cultural conflict can be paralyzing. When tools and tech cannot facilitate alignment between security and business strategy, principles of “psychology in the workplace” can be deployed.
By fusing two seemingly unrelated fields, Industrial-Organizational psychology (I-O psychology) and cybersecurity, leaders can improve the relationship, behaviors and communications between the defenders on the frontlines and the business C-Suite.
