Cyber Security Awareness and Employee Compliance Behavior at Wipro Limited
Cybersecurity has become a critical concern for organizations as the increasing use of digital technologies, cloud computing, remote work, and interconnected information systems has led to a rise in cyber threats and data breaches. While organizations invest heavily in advanced security technologies, employee awareness and compliance with cybersecurity policies remain essential for protecting organizational information assets. This study examines cybersecurity awareness and employee compliance behavior at Wipro Limited by evaluating employees knowledge of cybersecurity practices, adherence to security policies, and the factors influencing secure workplace behavior. The research focuses on key aspects such as password management, phishing awareness, secure internet usage, data protection, incident reporting, cybersecurity training, and organizational support. A descriptive research design was adopted using both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to employees, while secondary data were obtained from company reports, academic journals, books, industry publications, and credible online sources related to cybersecurity and information security management. The collected data were analyzed using percentage analysis, mean analysis, and graphical representations to assess the level of cybersecurity awareness and compliance behavior among employees. The findings indicate that regular cybersecurity training, continuous awareness programs, management support, and clearly defined security policies significantly improve employees compliance with organizational security practices and reduce the likelihood of cyber incidents. However, challenges such as evolving cyber threats, human error, social engineering attacks, insufficient awareness, and varying levels of digital literacy continue to affect organizational cybersecurity. The study concludes that fostering a strong cybersecurity culture through continuous education, policy enforcement, employee engagement, and proactive risk management is essential for enhancing cybersecurity awareness, strengthening compliance behavior, and improving the overall security posture of Wipro Limited.
