Kaspersky labs has published an eBook with valuable tips about cybersecurity.
Published : 2016-03-31.
Last updated : 2017-05-02.
The eBook has the following chapters:
- Regularly talk to employees about cybersecurity.
- Remember that top management and it staff are employees, too! (This chapter might be a real eye-opener)
- Explain to the employees that, while you make the best effort to secure the company's infrastructure, a system is only as secure as the weakest link. (I'd rather not use the term weakest link with regards to end users. See also tip 7.)
- Have regular, focused sessions with employees to explore different types of cyber-attacks.
- Warn employees to pay special attention to social engineering activities.
- Train employees to recognize an attack.
- Never disapprove or make fun of an employee who raises a red flag. (A very important tip. Always thank the user for bringing a possible threat to your attention. For every 10 false warnings he/she might find a thread that bypassed your filters or even Antivirus solutions!)
- If an incident happens, give your employees a heads-up as soon as possible.
- Regularly test employee's cyber-security knowledge. (Another great example of a continuous improvement process (Deming)
Deming Cycle of Continuous Improvement (Plan, Do, Check en Act).)
- Invite, listen and respond to feedback.
