Your people are a prime target for cyber attacks.
They’re also your strongest line of defense.
Our Cybersecurity Awareness Summit will help you uncover the tactics threat actors use to target your team. Learn how to stay a step ahead of social engineers and their sinister innovations and discover how effective awareness training can help stop cyber attacks in their tracks.
What to watch out for…
Targeted Attacks
- Whaling, aka specific phishing attacks that go after ‘the big fish’.
- Business Email Compromise (BEC): cybercriminals impersonate CEOs and go after unsuspecting employees.
Common Scams
- Company policy updates.
- Credential harvesting.
Role in A Culture
of Security:
- Embrace and evangelize security awareness training.
- Lead by example in cybersecurity best practices.
- Properly train employees on how you will communicate with them and ways you would never communicate with them.
Meet Your Defenders
No matter their positions, your employees have important roles to play in protecting your organization from cyber threat and transforming your culture to one of proactive cybersecurity.
What to watch out for…
Targeted Attacks
- Customer service positions are favorite targets of social engineers because they are reachable by phone. Social engineers may be calling to find out sensitive information.
Common Scams
- Phishing: Impersonating internal communications such as HR policy updates or software updates, external offers that are too good to be true.
Role in A Culture
of Security:
- Be suspicious. Confirm identities of callers before sharing sensitive information. Know what is considered sensitive information.
- If you see something suspicious, report it right away. Participate actively in security awareness training.
What to watch out for…
Targeted Attacks
- Business Email Compromise (BEC): cybercriminals know that the HR team is a lucrative target for ample amounts of company information. HR has the keys to employee personal info, org. structure, payroll, software and so much more.
Common Scams
- CEO gift card scam.
Role in A Culture
of Security:
- Remain alert. Deal with sensitive data securely. Embrace and promote security awareness training and following cybersecurity best practices as every employee’s responsibility, including in employee handbooks, during the hiring process, and in employee reviews.
What to watch out for…
Targeted Attacks
- A persistence attack. Cybercriminals often want to acquire specific information before attempting to attack a finance team. This means they will work hard to gain access to emails and information about the finance team, then lurk inside the system until the moment is right to attack.
Common Scams
- Last-minute update to account information.
- Moving closing dates or payment dates up.
Role in A Culture
of Security:
- Be suspicious.
- Have a secure ‘in-person’ (or direct employee phone/verbal) approval process for payments above a certain amount and to confirm any payment changes.
What to watch out for…
Targeted Attacks
- Cybercriminals impersonating employees who need help.
Common Scams
- Urgent communication from cybercriminals pretending to be employees.
- Pushing for IT team to go outside of employee-approved methods of communication.
Role in A Culture
of Security:
- Use your knowledge for good! IT team members are tech savvy and have the opportunity to be leaders and teachers of cybersecurity best practices, as well as reinforce and empower others to recognize and report suspicious activity.
- Take on the role of being a patient teacher to your less-technically inclined co-workers and help them to remain secure.
