Watch on-demand
Recorded live on June 28, 2022
McDonald’s Corporation is the world’s largest restaurant chain, serving over 69 million customers daily in more than a hundred countries. Just like every organization, McDonald’s is concerned that threat actors are targeting their employees across the world. And as we all know— it only takes one person to click on a malicious link and create a data breach. Thus, one of their key initiatives is empowering end users to identify human activated threats.
However, not everyone thinks that cybersecurity is their responsibility. So how does McDonald’s change employee mindset towards security awareness? And how do they capture users’ attention when everyone’s bandwidth is limited?
Join us for a 30-minute webinar. We will have a special guest speaker, Andrew Munson, Security Manager at McDonald’s Corporation. Andrew will speak about how his organization:
- Utilizes threat intelligence to form their program
- Overcomes the challenges of short attention spans
- Promotes its security awareness program so it becomes front of mind
- Drives behavior change and builds a positive security culture
