Workplace Security:
prevention alongside protection

Stop employees becoming the ‘path of least resistance’

For cyber crims, information is money. They could be after sensitive information about your organisation, your vendors, partners, customers or employees. And to get it, they are less likely to target your organisation’s technology and more likely to target your people. They’ll do this with phishing emails that look like business-as-usual correspondence, or fictious threats that make staff think their system is infected. Every single employee may be a target, but your system’s ‘super users’—those who have admin rights or privileged access for critical systems—may be most at risk.

Show why an educated click translates to better cybersafety

While your IT security teams are doing their bit with hard security measures, you need to make sure that every single employee knows what it means to make an educated click. Among other lessons, Phriendly Phishing’s staff awareness training will teach people how to

• think about what compels them to click on a link
  

• check emails, attachments and embedded links carefully to make sure they are valid before clicking them open
  

• avoid entering company information in response to an email, pop-up webage or other form of communication they didn’t initiate

• review system-flagged messages carefully before bringing them out of anti-spam quarantine.

Cybersecurity is no longer just a technology challenge. It’s a user challenge. Equip your people with the knowledge they need to make online security their business too.
