Features:

Tailgating

Sometimes it’s respectful of others to not hold the door open for someone. Don’t circumvent security protocols – even for people you know.

Https

A website starting with HTTPS is encrypted and much safer than HTTP. Be sure to “look for the lock”.

Phishing

Every day 8 million people open a fraudulent phishing email, don‘t add to that number.

Spear Phishing

Knowing about people’s interests and hobbies, knowing about these interests is valuable and that’s how cybercriminals get you.

Email

Some email can be more than inappropriate, they could help spread viruses to friends & family.

Handling Passwords

Writing down your passwords and hiding them by your desk, maybe under the keyboard, ISN’T a secure process.

Clean Desk

Sometimes the person leaking confidential information often doesn‘t realise he‘s the source of the leak. Don’t leave confidential documents on your desk – store them appropriately.

Pop Ups

The unwanted popup. You didn’t close it correctly…and now there’s more of them to deal with….oh boy…

Removable Media

USB drives are convenient…and small…and easy to lose…and hold more information than ever before.

Open Wifi

Sometime free doesn’t mean secure. Consider the potential problems when using open public wifi.

Password Handling

To create a strong password it‘s best to use a combination of lowercase, uppercase letters, symbols and numbers.

Printouts

Dispose your documents properly. That doesn’t mean simply tossing them into the recycle bin.

Spyware

Today it’s relatively simple for the cybercriminal to see everything you do on your computer, work related and personal.

Handling Confidential Material

Using your personal email to transmit confidential work materials can unique create opportunities for cyber criminals.

Malicious Attachments

All mail is not necessarily good mail. When you’re not expecting a package, double check with the sender.

Shoulder Surfing

That person standing over your shoulder seems a little too interested. Check your surroundings while typing in your password.
Base Training – Cyber Security Information Handling Electronic Access Controls Physical Access Controls (Includes Visitor Management) Cyber Security Incidents, Response and Recovery Controlling Communications Supply Chain Management

Usb Key Drop

Finding a USB drive on the ground might not be an accident. Plugging it into your computer might give a hacker complete control.

Home Wifi

Make sure your home WiFi is at least as secure as the rest of your house. You don’t leave your doors and windows unlocked, do you?

Computer Installs

Work computers are loaned to us, and “personalizing them” by installing your own software may expose you to hacking.

Chain Mail

You not only waste people’s time when you forward chain mail, you could be spreading viruses as well.

Social Engineering

Sharing confidential information, even with people you know, is never a good idea.

Dumpster Diving

Some people make money rummaging through your trash. Don’t discard sensitive materials without considering potential problems.

Keylogger

Check your computer ports for unknown devices. Keyloggers capture your keystrokes for cybercriminals to decipher later.

Lock Your Phone

Your smartphone is now an extension of you, your life, and possibly your business. Photos, email addresses, phone numbers, contacts, documents and physical addresses.

Ceo Scam

Always double check unusual requests from your boss, especially regarding financial transfers.

Privacy

When personal or business information is leaked, even if by accident, the repercussions may be severe. It is best to tell someone in authority as soon as possible.

Ransomware

Crypto ransomware is a malicious software that infects a computer and restricts your access to it until a ransom is paid to unlock it. Consider not becoming a victim.

Telephone Scams

If you get an unexpected pop-up, call, spam email or other urgent message about problems with your computer, stop. Don’t click on any links, don’t give control of your computer and don’t send any money.
