Employee training is a critical component of cybersecurity. Every employee, from the first day of their onboarding, should be educated about cybersecurity best practices. This requires close collaboration with the Human Resources department to integrate such training into the onboarding process. Regular updates on the latest cyber scams and techniques used by cybercriminals are essential. This continuous education helps employees recognize and avoid situations where they might inadvertently compromise the organization’s cybersecurity or become victims of cybercrime. Without proper training, employees might unknowingly become participants in cybercrime activities.
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Policy
In the era of remote work, it’s crucial for organizations to establish clear guidelines for employees using personal devices for work-related purposes. While companies have limited control over the monitoring and restriction of personal device usage, providing a framework of best practices is vital. A comprehensive BYOD policy should address how company data is accessed remotely. It should include protocols for securing data on personal devices, guidelines on acceptable use, and measures for protecting sensitive information. This policy not only helps in safeguarding the organization’s data but also provides clear expectations and guidelines for employees working remotely.
