Tip Tuesday: Report What You See
Would you open your front door just because a stranger knew your name? The same thinking applies to your inbox.
For Week 3 of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we're sharing another simple security habit from a BSN team member:
š¬ āWhen I receive an email, I first ask myself, āAm I expecting this, and do I know who this is?ā I treat unexpected emails like a stranger at my front door. Just because they know my name doesn't mean I should trust them. If an email asks me to sign in, view a document, or resolve an urgent issue, I go directly to the trusted source. If it's legitimate, I'll find it there.ā
Phishing emails often use familiar names, trusted brands, and a sense of urgency to get you to act before you think.
The takeaway? Pause before you click. Verify requests through a trusted source, and report suspicious emails to your IT team. Your quick action could help protect everyone in your organization.
