Identifying a phishing email, apply the security patches, Choose strong passwords, Securing USB drives… Simple but fundamental steps to take to protect your business from cybercrime. Our experience in attack and defense has shown us that one of the most significant attack vectors is the human factor. This worrying observation raises questions for businesses: How to adopt good cybersecurity awareness practices among your employees?
Discover 4 best practices that can inspire you to optimize your awareness campaigns.
- Use concrete and personal examples (identity theft on Facebook, malware on your computer that encrypts your vacation photos, credit card number theft…). Reach your audience through common situations that directly affect them, and continue your argument with examples that impact their professional lives.
- Focus each action on a single themeAwareness campaigns must deliver a clear and precise message. An employee overwhelmed with recommendations risks retaining only 20% of the safety reflexes to adopt. Be concise and focus on one topic at a time.
- Use innovative formats. New formats such as YouTube videos, virtual reality, or even serious games, improve engagement rates by changing the context in which the employee operates; it is easier for them to remember the necessary safety measures.
- Aim for excellence. When you go to the cinema, it's a voluntary act, unlike an awareness video imposed by a company. Poor production, low-quality graphics, or an unsuitable format risk rendering the awareness campaign ineffective.
