A company's employees are its best defence against security threats, and should be empowered and educated about technology risks, according to a new report from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).The consulting firm said in its Protecting your Business report (PDF) that organisations are too complacent about security, and assume that they will not be affected. This lax attitude filters down to workers, who then believe that security is "someone else's problem".PwC argued that companies should make staff more aware of the security risks, and educate them on how to defend against attacks. "The goal is that all those working for an organisation are alert to the risks, will want to act to protect information and will be actively supported in doing so," said Craig Lunnon, senior manager of HR services at PwC.
