Assume you are a target !
Never think that you are not a target to cyber criminals as you hold nothing of value or your business is “too small”. If you have money, data or a place of work, expect to be attacked – no one is immune to the risk cyber crime presents.
Correctly educate your workforce
You are only as strong as your weakest link – which is often your employees. Most limit cyber security to their I.T. department, leaving the rest of the organisation unaware of risks and the correct steps to take. With infrastructure becoming more and more robust, cyber criminals are targeting human vulnerabilities. Human error is the leading cause of cyber-attacks, with over 90% of successful breaches being a result of it.
Making it clear to them why they are an attractive target and educating them to raise awareness is the best way to reduce risk. The Cyber Stars Initiative is the only cyber security awareness programme with an official UK Government regulated qualification attached and is now delivered in over 25 countries.
Cyber security and information security are NOT the same thing
There is a huge misconception that cyber security and information security are the same thing. GDPR compliance will not protect you from malicious actors and the threat of a cyber attack.
Operational disruption and reputational damage are increasingly more damaging to businesses that data loss/theft.
Stay updated of the latest cyber threats to your sector
Once employees are educated, it is important for them to remain aware of new threats. With cyber crime ever-evolving, traditional training programmes often become outdated the minute the course is complete.
Cyber Stars
CAF Solutions provide quality training solutions utilising the best trainers available. Our courses don't simply finish at the end of the day, we provide on-going support through the Cyber Stars program.
On completion of a course and achievement of the Cyber Stars Initiative, each individual will be provided access to a Cyber Stars Portal. This portal contains a daily threat feed which can be filtered by sector so that Cyber Stars can remain aware of threats specific to their industry. It also contains a range of educational materials and policy documents to spread awareness throughout their organisation.
