SECURITY October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month: How secure is your enterprise?

October 29, 2016 by Mauchel Barthelemy 1 Comment

October is national cyber security awareness month. According to the author of this article, Mark Kaelin, this is an opportunity for enterprises of all sizes to take time to educate their workforce on lurking cyber security threats. We hold a “Selfies for Security Challenge” at my company in celebration of cyber security awareness this month. This is a selfie contest in which employees take selfies to display how they are protecting the company and our clients. Please share how cyber security awareness month is being celebrated this year if this is something they also do at your company or anywhere else you may know.

    My company is taking advantage of this month by offering presentations, trainings, and just setting up booths which are attended by different security teams in the lobby. This is a great way to interact with employees and help them understand the importance of cyber security. Another great technique that my company is using, they are sending “fake” phishing email to employees, which is educating them on the risks of clicking on links that don’t look right.
