HR, or Human Resources, is the department within an organization responsible for managing employee relations, recruitment, hiring, onboarding, training, payroll, and enforcing workplace policies. In cybersecurity, HR plays a crucial role in ensuring that employees follow security protocols, conducting background checks, and organizing security awareness training. HR also handles incidents involving insider threats and works closely with IT and security teams to establish clear policies for data protection, acceptable use, and incident response. Effective collaboration between HR and cybersecurity teams helps reduce risks related to human error, social engineering attacks, and insider threats, strengthening the organization's overall security posture.
