The value of preparation for cyber awareness culture is only visible on the day it is needed. Guard force performance on the corporate security practice discipline reflects supervision, not instruction. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this aspect of corporate security practice that were visible long before the incident. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of cyber awareness culture and prepares them for it. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this area of corporate security practice, not around theory headings. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this aspect of corporate security practice, in large organisations and small ones alike. The difficulty is not agreeing that cyber awareness culture matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this strand of corporate security practice to standardise and which to leave flexible. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this area of corporate security practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
