Cyber security: strengthening your human firewall

Webinar

95 per cent of cyber-attacks start in email and target the users. The threat actors know they can bypass other security measures by going through the users, since users are humans and therefore are more vulnerable. Users make an organization run, so in this session, we will discuss how to strengthen your users to make them a stronger human firewall for your organization. 

In this webinar, we will look at the tactics the bad actors use, how you can identify an attempted attack, and what to do when you encounter one of these attacks. We will also cover some preventative measures every staff member should take to secure themselves, both at work and at home.
