Turn your business’ greatest vulnerability into its biggest security asset.
Antivirus and firewalls, while helpful, may not be enough to keep your business and its information secure, particularly when human behavior comes into play. Did you know that 98 percent of cyberattacks rely to some degree on social engineering efforts and that 43 percent of all attacks against small businesses incorporate phishing or social engineering?
The team members that you rely on each day to maintain your operations should also be considered among the biggest vulnerabilities that you have. This is true of all of your employees (although more recent hires are a particularly high risk, according to 60 percent of IT pros).
The Hard Truth is That Your Team Can Easily Assist a Cybercriminal…
Oftentimes, without even realizing it.
Consider the passwords that protect your business’ data and other critical resources, for a moment. While they are clearly crucial to your business’ security, the temptation to take shortcuts can be particularly strong… especially for someone who is unaware of the real risks. How confident are you that your various team members will buy into how important their compliance is without a complete understanding of the real risks involved?
The same goes for every single one of your protections: without an understanding of what makes them so important, convenience is going to win out over security each and every time.
