We all know the answer to the question. There is no shortage of security advice, guidance, do's and don’ts and directives for any employee. But the language often continues to confuse, the advice is often not related to the daily priorities that we all face in our busy working lives and there is often no real clue why and how the impact of adopting different measures will positively impact you.
We need a different approach. It’s not that we need more or different advice, it’s the way we listen to and communicate with our employees that needs to change. Training employees effectively about keeping company or personal information safe and secure requires our training and communication to be:
During the last 18 months we have all needed to adapt like never before. We’ve had to get used to working from home much of the time and many of us have now adopted new hybrid methods of working that combine working from home and in the office. Cyber security has not been a priority for many of us or our employers at a time when managing multiple home and work pressures and enabling both new digital operations and home working have been top of mind.
Yet the risk to us and the organisations we work for from cyber-attacks continues. I recently spoke with a small business owner who had been the victim of a phishing scam that played to her fears about cyber fraud as the basis of the scam. It’s cost her valuable time and money that will take time to retrieve. Recent research highlighted that the most common cyber incidents in 2021 so far have been ransomware attacks, stolen laptops, phishing attacks and CEO fraud – all human cyber risks. We have all been victims or know family and friends who’ve been victims of a cyber-attack. It’s part of our daily lives.
The implications are clear. The risk is real, securing your business is vital, technical solutions are often expensive but it’s you and your employee behaviours that are your greatest vulnerability to cyber criminals.
So, during the UK’s Cyber Security Awareness month in October, what can you do that can make a real difference and typically not cost you much:
