Overview

The identifiable goal for the Visma Security Awareness Program is to change people’s security behaviour. We target two main groups with our awareness initiatives; the first one is Visma employees and the second one is Visma’s external market consisting of clients, users of our products, industry colleagues and everyone else in the world.

The goal of Visma’s Security Awareness Program is to influence and motivate people “to make good security decisions every day”. Regardless of where in Visma you work, or if you are a customer or not, we really want to inspire and motivate people to make good security decisions.

With this in mind, we produce a ton of security initiatives, contents and campaigns, throughout the year, on different security topics and these initiatives are delivered through different channels and through different methods.

These are some examples of security topics (delivered at beginner, intermediate or technical level); social engineering, work from home, Bug Bounty, IT backups, fake news and disinformation, nation state threat actors, passwords, holiday scams, encryption, CEO scams, security tips, and much more.

We believe that the key factors to success with security awareness initiatives, is to always amplify, multiply and repeat all the initiatives, again and again; locally, globally, internally and externally. To create the highest engagement.

We use several channels of communication, such as; traditional media like newspapers, social media, presentations at global conferences, security stands/booths at events, internal meetings, intranet, virtual meetings, workshops and special interest groups (security engineers, OWASP etc.)

The methods through which we spread the security awareness topics are through; videos, live talks, articles, blog posts, podcasts, TV, radio, social media, books, panel discussions, best-practices, white papers, reports, word-of-mouth etc. For example, if we write an article on the topic of Fake News, we amplify and multiply the awareness campaign.
