In this series, we discuss how Emotional Intelligence (EI) can be used to improve cybersecurity practices in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the financial sector. Cybersecurity is a crucial issue for SMEs, which often face a variety of challenges when it comes to protecting their digital assets. From phishing attacks to ransomware and insider threats, SMEs need to be proactive in their approach to cybersecurity. However, while technology and processes play a critical role in protecting against cyber threats, there is another important factor to consider: the human factor.
In this podcast, we delve into the human factor of cyber risk faced by SMEs in the financial sector. We explore several case studies to better understand the challenges these organizations face and how EI, as measured by the EQ-i 2.0 model, can be leveraged to reduce cyber risk. Our target audience includes CEOs and CISOs, as well as other decision-makers looking to improve their organization's cybersecurity posture. Join us as we discuss how to cultivate a culture of emotional intelligence within your organization to empower employees to play an active role in mitigating cyber threats. We cover topics such as self-awareness, empathy, impulse control, problem-solving, stress tolerance, flexibility, interpersonal relationships, emotional expression, assertiveness, optimism, reality testing, and self-regard. Through this podcast, we aim to provide practical insights and actionable tips that SMEs can implement to improve their cybersecurity posture.
By leveraging emotional intelligence, organizations can better manage the human factor of cyber risk, reduce the likelihood of cyber attacks, and mitigate their impact if they do occur.
