Cyber Security Awareness Poster
Training your staff not to fall for phishing emails only works if your emails don’t look like phishing emails. Try to be part of the solution, not the problem, by using email best practices:
Give warning about important emails: If you are sending a very important email, it might be a good idea to give the recipient a heads up to expect said email. This will decrease the chance the email will get deleted accidentally.
Don’t create a false sense of urgency: There is no need to instill fear in your staff or colleagues. There is no need to use ALL CAPS. It is also important to remember that you’re likely sending emails to responsible adults. There are ways to motivate people to act that don’t instill a sense of fear.
Be security minded: If emails are truly important, or include PII or other sensitive data, consider sending a secure message rather an an unencrypted email. Try to send emails from within your corporate domain when possible.
Simplicity is key: Try to limit the amount of formatting or link-clicking necessary to get to your message. Use plain text where you can.
