Cyber Security training basics: Password best practices
Summary
While anti malware software programs and firewalls are essential to doing this, another important element is, training your employees to identify the traps laid by cyber criminals. Studies show that the number one reason businesses become victims of cybercrime is because their employees fail to recognize a phishing attempt. For example an email may be disguised to look as though it came from a coworker or vendor, or even a government agency such as the IRS, and may contain a request for sensitive information. Though anti-malware software programs generally identify such communication and either mark them as spam or issue warnings when the receiver tries to open them or download the attachment, training your employees to recognize phishing attempts is very important, because even a single email that slips through the crack can result in a huge disaster. You can offload this task to an experienced managed service provider who specializes in cyber security.
