Humans are often considered the weakest element in any security solution. No matter what physical or logical controls are deployed, humans can discover ways to avoid them, circumvent or subvert them, or disable them. Thus, it is important to take into account the humanity of your users when designing and deploying security solutions for your environment. To understand and apply security governance, you must address the weakest link in your security chain—namely, people.

However, people can also become a key security asset when they are properly trained and are motivated to protect not only themselves but the security of the organization as well. It is important to not treat personnel as a problem to be solved, but as people who can become valued partners in a security endeavor.

Issues, problems, and compromises related to humans occur at all stages of a security solution development. This is because humans are involved throughout the development, deployment, and ongoing management of any solution. Therefore, you must evaluate the effect users, designers, programmers, developers, managers, vendors, consultants, and implementers have on the process.
