Negative reinforcement: How NOT to improve user behaviour

One of the interesting aspects of security awareness training is the intersection of information security with human resources. We know from experience that security practitioners are not always experts in the latter, but what we recently saw from Dave Clemente was a real doozy.

Clemente suggested that employees who engage in unsafe IT security behaviour (such as clicking on phishing links) be reprimanded and that unsafe behaviour should even negatively affect their performance review. To the security part of your mind, it might feel good to punish people for their security sins. We need to remember, however, that the ultimate goal of security is to protect a network, not give users a reason to DDoS it.
