Increase Your Business’s Cybersecurity: The Importance of Password Security and a Clean Desk

Writing down passwords on sticky notes or scraps of paper is a significant security risk that can compromise sensitive information. A clean desk policy requires employees to keep their workspaces tidy and free of clutter, with all sensitive documents stored in locked cabinets or drawers when not in use. It’s essential to communicate the importance of this policy to all employees and provide regular training to ensure compliance.

Why are humans the biggest insider threat to your business?

Employees are often considered the weakest link in a business’s cybersecurity chain, and for good reason. Negligent users, employees with exposed credentials, and malicious users are the three main types of insider threats that can cause user-related data breaches. The majority of employees make mistakes, which can compromise cybersecurity, and phishing attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it easier for attackers to target employees. Building a security-savvy workforce through Human Risk Management (HRM) is one way to address the problem. Regular, short, and engaging training is necessary to ensure that employees are up-to-date with the latest threats and best practices.
