Don't fall for cyber threats! get your teams properly trained!
In the world of business, where human error is the biggest cybersecurity risk, business owners must take action to protect their company.
Join me, Mark Riddell (https://uk.linkedin.com/in/itsupportprovider), as in this episode of Techcess (https://www.techcesspodcast.com/) as we uncover the shocking truth behind CEO Fraud and the devastating consequences of simple mistakes.
Will you and your business learn from the suggested vulnerabilities, or will you also fall victim to the ever-evolving tactics of cybercriminals?
Listen in to ensure you're properly armed with knowledge.
Understanding your cyber security baseline
Once you have established a clear understanding of your cyber security baseline, the next step involves identifying the risks that could threaten your business.
Risk evaluation is a targeted method to reveal vulnerabilities and prioritise actions that can minimise potential damage. So during the episode, I'm stressing the need for a thorough risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities across the organisation's network and digital assets.
With examples of how risk analysis guides the creation of tailored training programs, I'm offering insights into the strategic necessity of knowing the stakes before devising a plan of action.
Finally, remember that rules are only as good as their enforcement. Setting clear guidelines about safe online practices, incident reporting procedures, and consequences for non-compliance helps in fostering a security-centric culture.
