Implementation considerations

Leading Entity

It is recognised that a major portion of cybersecurity incidents are the result of human factors. To combat this, we will foster a cyber aware culture by uplifting cybersecurity processes and cyber literacy for the protection of the LHD, staff and patients. Activities to achieve this include: ► Targeting communication activities and cyber aware campaigns to staff members ► Phishing simulations combined with gamification of activities and results

Reduction of cyber risk and incidents stemming from human factors Reduction in data breaches involving personal identifiable information Improved security posture through a cost effective way

Identify the current baseline of cyber awareness across the LHD Design and create education and training programs for cybersecurity, privacy obligations and best practices informed by the baseline understanding Roll-out training and communications targeted at cyber awareness Ensure training completion is measured (for example through a decrease of cyber incidents) and training materials are refreshed periodically Highlight the positive cybersecurity stories and reward good behaviour.
