Rolling out 18 new cybersecurity policies seemed straightforward, but reality proved otherwise. Challenges like slow approvals and balancing security with business needs tested our approach. The real win? Cybersecurity is shifting from an "IT thing" to a company-wide mindset, proving that security is as much about people as it is about policies.
