Security Awareness professionals have been pushing training and awareness on information security best practices for some time now. Many companies have spent millions of dollars on computer and instructor-based trainings as well as awareness activities. However, few companies have really seen a behavioral change in their employees. Behavioral modification is hard, but not impossible. Once we realize that security awareness is a science, positive behavioral changes can take place, thus impacting the overall security posture of any organization.

This presentation will examine how through security awareness programs utilizing positive psychology principles – Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Achievement, and Positive Emotions – we can directly impact the security risk appetite, behaviors and overall culture of our organizations and bring back the positivity in information security.
