Think phishing is old news? You won’t believe why it’s still the number one nightmare for CEOs and business owners. Ever find it odd that phishing, an old trick in the cyberbook, keeps CEOs awake at night? Guess what, it’s not budging from that top spot.

Here’s the deal: cyber villains always stay ahead. If you develop a shield, they craft a spear. They’re all out to make your employees act impulsively, falling into traps on all communication fronts.

Ever thought about arming your business against phishing, without the tech jargon? Let’s discuss uncomplicated, everyday measures to secure your digital turf.

1. Training: Educating your team about phishing scams is the first step. A well-informed team can spot such scams.
2. Double-checking: Emails from ‘official’ sources often aren’t. Encourage your team to verify before replying.
3. Regular updates: Keep your systems and software updated, they often include security enhancements. Phishing is a persistent threat, but with the right non-technical measures, your business can uphold security. Ready to fortify your cyber defences? I’m here to help.

Questioning the efficiency of your cyber defence is valid. But to provide any assurance about your training methods we need to monitor and measure.

Explore our Protective Monitoring service. For just a tenner per user, it’s a shockingly affordable way to both test your defences and uplift your team’s cyber consciousness – all under that ten-pound note. Zilch hidden charges, and a 14-day free trial to sweeten the deal.

From simulating phishing to rooting out insider liabilities, and safeguarding email privacy to mobile security – we’ve got you covered with a whopping 28 distinct campaigns. Are you prepared to test your cyber fortitude?

These campaigns won’t help against point number 3, regular updates.  For most that will mean ensuring that regular updates on desktops, laptops, tablets etc, are switched on and can’t be switched off.  But of course, installing these updates can be a problem and users regularly try to find ways to delay it, or cancel it, because they find it an irritation.  And you are at the mercy of cloud providers and other suppliers to ensure that their systems are patched fully, and on time.  What if you were running an anti-malware system that made updates and patches, not obsolete, that would be nice, but far less urgent because it stops executable files from running, unless you have said they can.  Give us a call to discuss, it really is innovative.

Here’s a challenge for you: Take the right steps to fortify your cyber walls.
