The Human Factor in Cybersecurity

BLUF Statement
In this writing, I will be explaining how I would manage and distribute the amount of
money the company is working with. This will include : handling the funds that will go into the
tradeoffs for training, along with the cybersecurity technology that is added on. Then, last but not
least I will include the reason why I would handle the budget this way.
Balancing Trade Offs
When balancing the tradeoffs, I would first pinpoint which ones we are associated with.
Next, try to direct and lead the people that are involved, such as clients to ensure they understand
how much getting the additional technology will benefit them ( Robinson, 2019). Specifically
someone that is in a higher position, such as a security officer(me) should explain the concept
and help the customer understand. As a CISO, knowing the risk and important information that
comes along with adding such advanced technology is essential to being successful. Another
thing is that I would prioritize and focus on which goals or technology is most important.
Distributing funds
The reason I say this is because then you will have a guideline to follow when figuring
out which aspects to put the most money into.(Robinson, 2019) This way you are using the
budget wisely and not splurging on the less important parts of the company’s issues/technology.
Tradeoff Of Training
I would ensure to inspire my trainees and employees to have a good energy level and stay
on top of their responsibilities. This will benefit them in taking care of the important things and
protecting themselves (Amos, 2022). Mainly pushing them to keep their tasks in check and
thoroughly do them, because if they do not then they put not only the company at risk, but also
themselves. Next, I would make them practice a good routine and utilize any tools they can get
their hands on. If someone puts their goals and training first, then they are bound to succeed,
therefore enforcing that will make them do well in the cybersecurity field.
Lastly, making them study group tasks or teaching them how to handle group occasions
would benefit them as well. (Amos, 2022)
Conclusion
In conclusion, getting the employees set up to know how to defend themselves and
protect the company as well as knowing the priorities for the company and correlating that with
the budget will lead to overall success. (Giordani, 2021) As long as there is a system or
procedure the company follows and being informed on how to manage the risks that may come
along with adding the things that are new to us are essential. This way we know how to combat
these risks when they come our way after adding these new technologies.
