Empathy-Driven IT Security: Path to Active Compliance

🔐 IT security often meets resistance when guidelines clash with everyday work pressures, causing employees to view measures as obstructive and to bypass them. The article advocates empathetic policy engineering: perform stakeholder analysis, design user-centered policies, and pilot changes with early adopters. Communicate with respect—use tactical empathy, collaborative 'help me to help you' dialogues, and realistic, scenario-based training to boost acceptance and embed secure practices.

Fortinet recommends targeted training, policies for generative AI use, and its Security Awareness modules to help close the gap and reduce threat exposure.
