YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE ON THE FRONTLINE OF YOUR SECURITY DEFENSE

Your employees can be your biggest cybersecurity risk, but they can also become your strongest line of defense against phishing attacks. Knowledge is the first step towards preventing data breaches, and by educating your employees regularly, you can establish a culture of best security practices.

Most successful data breaches start with a phishing attack. And all it takes is one employee, one time, missing the signs that can expose your organization to costly devastation.

30% of breaches come from repeat offenders within your company.

thinkCSC provides layers of security to prevent malicious emails from ever reaching their destination. We help you protect your data in a variety of ways. But your company is only as strong as your weakest link – and that weakest link is often your own employees.

Data breaches are costly.

Ninety percent of cyberattacks start with an email phishing campaign. The average data breach shuts down an organization for a week or longer, with recovery costs exceeding $100,000. Thanks to social engineering, phishing emails often appear legitimate. Employees receiving them believe that they are a genuine directive from their bosses or CEOs, and they feel pressured to act quickly. But many data breaches can be prevented if employees in your organization know what they were looking for.

Phishing attacks are hard to identify.

Ongoing training is critical for everyone within your organization. An employee may not think twice about a request to update a password for a commonly used website, or a request to submit private information to what appears to be a third-party vendor. Employees tend to blindly trust that an antivirus program will weed out the spam in their digital mailboxes, without considering that a spam filter may let an email get through that could be a phishing attack.

Training helps raise employee awareness and provide information on emerging threats.

thinkCSC Employee Training Teaches Your Employees How To:

SECURE PERSONAL INFORMATION

Do not use the same password on multiple devices and across multiple sites, including personal networks. Hackers can target specific individuals and explore a variety of networks, including social media, to obtain sensitive information. Passwords should be complex and changed periodically, and multifactor authentication should be applied whenever possible.

USE AVAILABLE PROTECTIONS

If professional devices are recommending updates, make sure employees are not ignoring prompts. Also encourage employees to secure their personal devices and provide accessible security options. By incorporating best security practices into their personal lives, employees are more likely to implement these practices in their professional realms.

USE SECURE NETWORKS ONLY

It can be tempting for employees to sign into an office network from home or from a coffee shop, even if it is only to check an email, quickly and innocently. Unsecured access, however, can give hackers the opportunity they need to infiltrate secure networks.

BE AWARE OF THREATS

We teach employees to be suspicious of emails requesting private information. If an email requests immediate action, then a moment should be taken to confirm the request. Nothing is so immediate that your employees can’t take the time to verify a request with a supervisor.
