Q&A with Rebecca Kennis, CISO, Aront Health: My Number Job is Creating a Culture of Security>
Health System CIO – Anthony Guerra
Rebecca Kennis, CISO at Aront Health, is laser focused on created a culture of cyber where security is everyone’s job, and nobody thinks of it as unnecessary interference in their work.
The first thing that I do when I’m talking with a new set of employees, when we’re introducing this to any group at all, is really to make sure that they’re understanding the why.
Because if they don’t understand the why, they’re never going to hear the what.
These things need to be presented to them not just once a year when it’s time to do the annual required trainings, that needs to be throughout the year.
You can’t just have the once and done with security and expect anybody to retain and have that build any culture of security in the organization.
I always make sure I tell new employees that come in, if you click on something, if something happens, and you’re like, ‘Oh geez, I shouldn’t have done that,’ let us know right away.
You will not get in trouble for doing that if you let us know right away.
If you try to pretend like it didn’t happen, we can’t promise you will not get in trouble for that.
