Implement stricter security measures and controls can be an unease task to accomplish, but some ground rules, when applied, might make this effort smooth: - Always emphasize security risks, using real examples and losses caused by breaches; - Offer security awareness training to the whole company, ensuring the understanding that all employees have a part on the security process.

To win them over to stricter measures, you need to first convince them by telling them the consequences of not using these new network security upgrades. This is so that they would know why it's necessary. You need to then give them regular training. This is so that they wouldn't face any troubles caused by these new upgrades. You need to make sure that inform them of any new security measures. This is so that you would know if they are against it or not and if they are, why are they.

You can always update your team with real-world examples of happenings/awareness going around the globe at other places/countries/regions/organisations. E.g.: A developing/smaller/non-productive nation/organisation may not face as many threats as a developed/profound nation/organisation, maybe because their data has much to offer. But if an organisation grows further, there is a sense of responsibility for not just the Team but also the automated system to be updated for future vulnerabilities/threats.

Winning over your team on stricter network security measures requires clear communication, collaboration, and demonstrating value. Start by explaining the risks in relatable terms, using real-world breaches to highlight potential consequences. Show how security upgrades protect both the business and employees, rather than just adding restrictions. Involve the team early, gathering feedback and addressing concerns to ensure usability. Implement user-friendly security solutions like adaptive MFA and single sign-on (SSO) to minimize friction. Offer training and support to ease the transition. By framing security as an enabler rather than a barrier, you can foster buy-in and long-term compliance.

Convincing your team to embrace stricter network security can feel like an uphill battle, but a smart approach can turn resistance into support 🔐. Show them the risks—real-world breaches and their consequences can drive the point home 🚨. Make them part of the process by gathering input and addressing concerns, so they feel heard and involved 🤝. Provide hands-on training to ensure they’re comfortable with the changes, reducing frustration and boosting compliance 📚.
