The best way to get management attention is to plunge them into the middle of a cyber attack.
According to Marco Gercke, director for the Cybercrime Research Institute, this is a powerful teaching tool,” he told the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit 2014 in London. Gercke said the idea was inspired by a Government minister who was not very supportive of cyber security initiatives, but then became a champion of the cause after his personal email was hacked.
According to Computer Weekly, as top managers are often the targets of attacks aimed at gaining entry to a network, it is vital to get support from them.
