Could The Biggest Threat To Your Business Be Your Staff?

The weakest link in the chain of a resilient and secure IT system is your employees. In this article, we will be looking at why this is and how to ensure your staff are aware of today’s cyber threats. What’s more, we will give you some advise on how to fix this problem and make your business mroe resilient.

Why Your Staff May Be The Weakest Link?

This comes down to your staff’s risk score and awareness of cyber threats. You can invest thousands of pounds in implementing IT security systems in order to keep your business secure. However, no single system is 100% secure, and this leaves some risk. Today, the most common vulnerability is incoming email and how your staff interacts to email phishing attacks.

Email phishing comes in many forms. While some staff might be aware of what to look for, not all will. Can you confidently say that all your employees who have access to company emails are 100% aware of the possibility of threats and security breaches? Do they know how to spot a phishing email when they come across one?
