Your fist and last line of defense

The Human element…. I can add all the technical controls that I can get my hands on but if my employees behave in a matter that is not safe (like clicking on a malicious link) … the technical controls will not be able to stop you. This is why you are the first and last line of defense.

A quick look at the most important security issues that every company should be educating their users today

1.You are the Target (Stop, Look, Think), How much data are you sharing? 2.Social Media (Time to check your settings) 3.Protect you PC (Pedro’s 5 rules for home PC protection) 4.Your Digital ID (Where have you left you login information) 5.Passwords Sharing Devices (With so many passwords, lets learn how to manage them) 6.Open Attachments (Ransomware – Phish nightmare) 7.Shredding your documents (It’s your personal information!) 8.Two Factor Authentication (2FA, HTTPS - This is a must have today !) 9.Debit vs. Credit (How to protect yourself)
10. Backup your data (Can you verify that it’s there?) 11.BYOD, IOT – Are you ready? (They are already in your environment)

My goals for attendees learning are:

1. Easy to remember actions that they can implement in their environment today, use my presentation as a template to create your own Security Awareness.
2. Educate attendees about their home / private cyber lives today
3. Security Awareness has become the number one action in many companies that pays the most dividends in your network, do you have one?
