Security isn’t AWS or your tech stack. That’s part of it, but it’s so much more that that: it’s your people. 🌟 It’s fundamental for startups, and businesses of any size, to take a people-focused approach to cybersecurity awareness and education. By focusing on your team, you can equip them with everything they need to help defend your company. Because in reality, security isn’t a once-and-done activity—it’s 24/7, and only effective if everyone is on board. Laura Bell from SafeStack shares more insight on why this is important, how to think about it overall, and why it’s never too early to start. 🚀 👉 Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/onwardly 👉 Learn more about securing your startup: https://onwardly.io
