Let’s not sugarcoat it: executive support can make or break any program within your organization (security-related or otherwise). No support means no budget, no resources, no prioritization. In other words: no program. Security awareness training specifically can have its own set of hurdles. Cybersecurity programs have traditionally focused on software solutions designed to prevent, protect, detect, and respond to attacks. With security awareness training – a very human aspect of your cybersecurity program – the lack of executive support will likely be the deciding factor as to whether it is implemented or not. It’s not just essential to ensure that you’ve got the backing to get the budget you need to create an effective and engaging training program. If the actions, habits, and cyber hygiene of the executive team don’t align with the message of your security awareness training program, the entire program can be undermined. For your security awareness program to be a success, the executive team must be convinced that the security mindset and culture created by security awareness training is the right thing for the organization and “talk the talk” and “walk the walk” when it comes to supporting this initiative.

Keeping people safe and informed is crucial during an emergency such as severe weather, a building intruder, or active shooter situation. Effectively communicating information to people who may be impacted by the situation can save lives. K-12 schools should consider adding discrete alerting methods, such as panic buttons, to their emergency notification plan. Panic buttons are popular emergency notification methods because they allow people to discretely notify first responders and safety personnel without alerting the entire school. A notification that draws a lot of attention, such as an alarm or strobe, can intensify the crisis by inducing panic and confusion among bystanders. This can trigger a hostile intruder to react, ultimately putting people in harm’s way. In this article, you’ll learn about six types of panic buttons that your school can use to effectively communicate and rapidly receive assistance in the event of an emergency through ACTIVATE’s integration with Intrado, a global leader in public safety. We want to thank Intrado for this helpful information, and how current technology can easily integrate with our ACTIVATE emergency notification solution!

Traditional methods of flaw remediation are not equipped with the technology to keep pace with the rapid evolution of code generation practices, leaving developers incapable of managing burdensome and overwhelming security debt. Code security is still a critical concern in software development. For instance, when GitHub Copilot generated 435 code snippets, almost 36% of them had security weaknesses, regardless of the programming language. As it is, many developers are still unequipped with an automated method that can securely remediate issues in code.
