In order to overcome upcoming pushbacks around the new frameworks in cybersecurity, the needs of the frameworks as well as the specific benefits of having new cybersecurity protocols for users and the company should be illustrated. Show them how to use it in practice to boost their self-esteem and ensure that they will subsequently adopt the system. Make your people part of the solution rather than waiting till they complain and then you start strategizing. This builds trust, ensures people feel responsible for the change, and puts the whole organization into the transition with minimum friction.

Investing in new cybersecurity measures is often seen solely as a risk mitigation effort, but it should also be recognised as a strategic initiative. When positioned to highlight how it delivers a competitive advantage for the organisation while offering meaningful professional development and career growth opportunities for the team, it not only reduces resistance but also fosters enthusiasm and buy-in.
