Cyber Awareness: Building a Security Conscious Workforce

Cyber criminals don't always need to hack their way in. Sometimes it's easier to persuade someone to let them in. This recording from Specialist Network Operations (SNO), made with Electric Horse, looks at how organisations can reduce human cyber risk without creating a culture of blame.

Stephen Goodman covers why people and business processes get targeted, common phishing, social engineering and impersonation techniques, and how to spot suspicious emails, links, attachments and requests. It also covers password, credential and MFA good practice, why fast, judgement-free reporting matters, and how leaders can build awareness into everyday culture. Real-world examples show how simple steps, like independently verifying payment changes, make a difference.

The session boils it down to three habits: pause, verify and report.
