Belgium-based Counsel Ann-Sophie De Graeve and Senior Associate Johanna Van Herreweghen co-wrote an article for DataNews, titled The employee as a pawn in the battle for cyber security. In the article, Ann-Sophie and Johanna explore the role of employees in a company’s cyber security strategy: how employees can put companies at risk but also how companies can incentivize and train employees to be vigilant and a first line of defence against corporate cyber security threats.
