Employees do not pay attention

I just read a few articles about employees not paying attention to corporate security in general, and specifically that they do not pay attention to things they are clicking on. Even when they know their own information is at risk as well as the company they work for, they do not seem to care.
The data in the articles suggests:
~ 45 % of clickers were not paying attention
~ 43 % said the emails they click on look legit
Very few employees say they are concerned with cyber security. So what do these findings suggest? Cyber Security Training, and Simulated Phishing have never been as important as it is now!
Having a plan in place to help teach and keep Cyber Security at the forefront of employees' minds will keep the company, and employee information, more cyber secure and reduce threats. When employees are aware of the current cyber security social engineering attacks, they can be better prepared.
Would love to show you this week's top ten emails that the cyber criminals are using to get users to fall for their scams.

1 个月The fact that this article is 4 years old makes it more of a gem. As relevant as it was in 2020 most employees (Don't give a stuff) I know so due to a massive evidence of experience this personal as I was conducting some exploority Cyber security SEO tests for free using specific known software for the investigations and sending these on to the companies on over 100s of occasions for free as a evidence of good faith in advance and I felt compelled morally knowing things like clickjacking and various other vulnerabilities on non compliant vunruable neglected poxy WordPress websites with absolutely frightening results were uncovered. In the end I just gave up. Sending the prove with the results explained on a pdf. Then tried video of the software working. Speaking to several of these employees who hear this sound always..... It goes like this ... "Blah blah blah......... blah blah" I was doing follow up expecting "Thank you so much for your advice the knowledgeable technical information and the time you took to compile this and the kindness, the personal individual video plus the expertise pointing these issues out for free" . This never occurred the individual sitting at the front desk doesn't give a stuff. Kelly Hector

4 年How about a "you click it, get a ticket" campaign. for each ticket, force them to watch (yet another) anti-phishing video. Collect enough tickets and it goes on your performance review. That means the potential to lose $$$ from bonuses, etc. Anytime you "waste" someone's time or hit their wallet, they start to take notice.
