On line security is a major concern for most companies.
Employees are often trained to minimize some exposures. Just like a fire drill,
repetition is often the best way to teach.
I can attest to this first hand as a real fire in a building I was in
that had a number of “drills” (not all intentional) enabled everyone to exit
safely.
There are businesses that can help you teach and repeat. One
of the methods they use is Phishing. Phishing is the attempt to acquire
sensitive information using malware under cover of a trusting email. Your
teaching surely encourages your employees and yourself to watch out for these
possibilities. But people forget, or become careless or haven’t had the
training, etc. So, you could hire a business to keep on top of this for you.
They will send Phishing emails to your employees to see if they can get someone
to “take the bait”.
Then you can provide better and targeted training.
If this interests you, search out an organization or do it
yourself, but consider doing it.
