    Beyond regular training, controls and clear policies, I believe we should foster a culture of security awareness within our team, making cybersecurity a shared responsibility. To achieve this, we can introduce interactive training methods like simulations and gamified experiences. For example, we could implement solutions or events that challenge team members to identify and respond to virtual threats, making the learning process more engaging and memorable, together with a reward system to recognize users who complete security tasks successfully. Finally, establishing a system where team members can easily report suspicious activities without fear of blame ensures issues are promptly addressed and encourages everyone to contribute.

    People tend to commit to things they agree with and see the why behind it, so setting clear polices that are easy to follow, and providing constant training will be a great start.
