Good password hygiene is one area that is crucial yet often overlooked, so it is important to build a culture<br />

that implements best practices and security habits. Employees should create a unique password <strong>for</strong> each<br />

of their digital accounts and applications, as well as turn on MFA where possible <strong>for</strong> an added layer of<br />

security.<br />

Another important habit employees should add to their daily routine is checking emails <strong>for</strong> authenticity<br />

from the moment they read them. This allows them to not be pressured to engage with different phishing<br />

emails, even during stressful situations. If an email seems questionable and suspicious, reporting the<br />

incident to the IT security department will allow them to address the situation and confirm whether it is a<br />

potential cyberattack.<br />

Security-awareness training is the foundation to your organization’s cybersecurity<br />

Companies that focus on security-awareness training are setting themselves up to successfully combat<br />

cyberattacks. Establishing a “human firewall” will increase employees’ abilities to assess potential threats<br />

and thwart them from the get-go. IT managers need to stay vigilant in upskilling their company employees<br />

with new, easy-to-use, up-to-date tools and more sophisticated phishing attacks to ensure their systems<br />

will not get compromised due to preventable human error. <strong>The</strong>se actions will help your employees stay<br />

ahead of hackers, and keep your organization safe even as cyberattacks become increasingly<br />

sophisticated amid the ever-changing digital environment.<br />
