Engaging Employees as Security Partners

According to top security advisor Frank Abagnale Jr., 99.9% of the time security breaches occur because someone inside a company did something they weren’t supposed to do — such as opening a phishing email, setting a weak password, downloading unsafe software, losing a laptop containing sensitive information or allowing network access to an unapproved vendor. Making employees aware of emerging security dangers and training them in security best practices is one of the most powerful ways to minimize risk, ensure compliance and prevent security incidents.

UnitedHealth Group’s SAFE With Me program fosters an ongoing partnership with employees to enlist them as our first line of defense against cyber-attacks. Learn about the key components of an effective security and privacy employee awareness program and view examples of how UnitedHealth Group engages employees to safeguard company systems and the sensitive information our customers entrust to us.

Key learning points:
  • Six key proactive security and privacy employee awareness topics
  • Tips on effective employee communication during an incident
  • Creative use of communication channels to build awareness
