Obtaining support from key organizational influencers is the most effective way to foster an information security culture. Key influencers, such as senior executives and leaders, have the ability to set priorities and influence the behavior and attitudes of others within the organization. Their support ensures that information security is taken seriously and integrated into the organizational culture, leading to better adherence to security practices. While training and technical controls are important, the endorsement and commitment of influential figures help to embed information security more deeply into the organizational ethos.
