Post-pandemic, CISOs are overlooking an important cyber defence
Following COVID, no CybSafe employee will be bound to a physical office. Instead, CybSafe will be joining the growing list of organisations “working from anywhere”. Not temporarily. Permanently. And not “working from home”. Working from anywhere. Questions about office hours and moving overseas quickly begin. They showcase people’s excitement. But they also highlight an interesting point – For months now, most security professionals have been desperate to “secure remote workers”.
Borderless Cyber Security
Borderless security awareness is not a product or feature. It is a mindset. The world is changing. The team at CybSafe have been observing this, and thinking about what it means for our industry and the people we support. Join us as we explore the concept...

How to make sure remote workers learn security skills from others – Part 2
As we discussed in part one of this post, isolation restricts remote worker security. (Read part one here before continuing.) Remote workers can’t watch others. They rarely receive verbal feedback.
