Module 2

People are the weakest link.

Key Points:

  • Human factors are at the core of many cybersecurity issues, especially in small businesses where training may be minimal, processes unrecorded and unfollowed, and there is a lack of awareness of the common risks.
  • Training is essential, as is making it everyone's business to protect the enterprise.
  • Weak passwords make businesses particularly vulnerable, as does inattention to disabling access for disgruntled staff members.
  • Ensure that strong passwords are used, and stored safely.
