Definition of cybersecurity culture

Cybersecurity culture is the shared mindset, values, and behaviors around security within an organization. It reflects how people think about risk, responsibility, and speaking up when something feels off.

In a strong cybersecurity culture, security is not owned by IT alone. It is embedded in daily work, supported by leadership, and reinforced through trust, learning, and open communication.
