Security Awareness Training
Employees are the building blocks of every business, so it’s key that they are equipped with the best knowledge and trained with the proper procedures. With ever-evolving cyber threats like phishing attacks, malware or viruses, how sure can you be that traditional security awareness methods are cutting it? That’s where Proactive Network Technologies comes in.
Our user-friendly Security Awareness Training helps educate staff members about best practices for online behavior, passwords, personal information sharing, identity protection, computer and home network security, spam, viruses, and handling email attachments. Essentially, we train you to look out for all the common social engineering scams. On top of this, you are given ways to assess the effectiveness of your current awareness program.
We also expedite the process of documenting your organization’s security efforts and ensure compliance with federal regulations. With all of this comes immediate, tangible benefits such as increased customer loyalty, reduced fraud attempts and decreased losses related to identity theft. By partnering with Proactive Network Tech to learn the ins-and-outs of phishing, social engineering and general IT security practices, you’ll help keep your business safe from the inside out.
The overall Phish-prone™ percentage drops from an average of 15.9% to an amazing 1.2% in just 12 months. The combination of web-based training and very regular simulated phishing attacks really works.
Emails are equally important as they are vulnerable, and since they are your company’s lifeline they constantly need protection. Here are some best practices for email security to always keep in mind:
DO’S
- Always check the ‘From’ field to validate the email’s sender.
- Check for ‘double-extended’ scam attachments. ‘safe.txt’ files are safe whereas ‘safe.txt.exe’ files aren’t.
- Notify your IT help desk of any and all suspicious emails.
- Remember that www.microsoft.com and www.support.microsft.sofware.com are two DIFFERENT domains - and only the first one is real.
DONT’S
- Open email attachments that end with .exe, .scr, .bat, .com, or files you don’t recognize.
- "Unsubscribe" - just delete the email instead.
- Click on embedded links without hovering the mouse over them to check the URL.
- Reply to spam. Just delete it.
