Security often struggles not because of weak controls, but because the people who own the risk aren’t engaged. Frontline teams are stretched, first-line teams juggle priorities, and leaders can see security as friction rather than shared responsibility.
This course tackles the human and organisational barriers that block collaboration. Practitioners learn how to work with busy stakeholders, read their motivations and shift perceptions of security from policing to partnership.
By the end, you’ll be building stronger alliances across the business, increasing shared ownership, and reducing resistance. Creating faster, more effective security outcomes.
A one-day practitioner experience that sharpens your influence, strengthens trust across the security network and builds the alliances needed to drive security adoption.
