Broken Cyber Windows Theory (By Javvad Malik)

By Javvad Malik, Lead Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4 (www.KnowBe4.com).

 

Have you ever walked down a street with broken windows, burnt out cars, graffiti and felt a bit uneasy? There’s a reason for that, and it’s not just about aesthetics. The Broken Windows Theory, introduced by social scientists James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling in 1982, suggests that visible signs of crime and antisocial behavior encourage further crime and disorder. But what does this have to do with cybersecurity? More than you might think.
