The best scam and phishing defence isn't technology. It's awareness.
Many cyber-attacks begin with a convincing email, text message or phone call.
Attackers don't need to hack their way in when someone unknowingly opens the door for them. Social engineering attacks are becoming all too common, where an attacker convinces a real staff member to take actions they usually wouldn’t.
Before acting on an unexpected request:
- Check the sender carefully
- Verify payment requests independently
- Be cautious with links and attachments
- Ask questions if something feels unusual
A great IT partner should have protections in place for email, attachment and link security. The second piece of the puzzle is your team, their knowledge and awareness.
If your security could use a review, maybe some security awareness training for your team, call us for a chat.
