Many experts agree that it’s important to create and maintain a security culture as a proactive measure against unwanted activities such as fraud and theft. This type of culture is established through various employee awareness programs specifically targeting unwanted activities such as fraud and theft.
Many companies tend to underestimate the value and importance of this, especially during economic downturns. Companies tend to be focused on reducing their resources whether internally or externally. But, if a strong focus and security culture had already been established, even during lean, downturn times this culture may be their only line of defence against unwanted activity.
