ABSTRACT

Effective communication requires knowledge of the environment where the communication takes place. Most cybersecurity professionals will focus on communication within their organization. Internal communication is a continuous process of exchanging and interpreting messages between members within that organization. This type of communication strongly depends on organizational structure and culture. The corporate culture and how it translates into security policies affects the level of commitment from the employees to comply with these policies. One suggested cause of problems with policy is the style and wording of the information security policies. Internal communication is the continuous exchange of information between professionals within an organization. Stakeholder analysis aims at analysing their relative power and interest, the importance and influence they have, what 'hats’ they may wear, and to what networks they belong.
