In Episode S2E10 we talk with Perry Carpenter, Chief Evangelist, and Strategy Officer with KnowBe4. We discuss KnowBe4’s new research arm, KnowBe4 Research, and their first Security Culture Report that was recently released.

In the 2020 “Security Culture Report”, data was collected from 120,050 employees in 1,107 organizations across 24 countries. There were a total of 17 industry sectors examined in detail. Results from this year’s report revealed a large gap between the best performers and the poor performers when it comes to security culture. The best performers were from Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance and the worst performers were from Education, Transportation, and Energy & Utilities.

Security culture varies across industries. In the industry comparison report, all industries were compared according to their security culture scores and across each of the seven dimensions (Attitudes, Behaviors, Cognition, Communication, Compliance, Norms, and Responsibilities) of security culture.
