Email Security Training and Seminar
Anyone who’s worked with computers and the internet, even if not in the tech industry themselves, are aware on a basic level of the importance of security. They know that hackers, viruses, malware and other threats lurk in the ether, waiting for the chance to cause untold problems that can cost millions of dollars to recover form, if at all possible.
The problem is that most people whom aren’t tech people themselves lack an understanding on a basic level of how these threats work, how they get in, or how the defenses against them are designed to function. Of course, this ignorance isn’t anything to be ashamed of, the responsibility falls on those with this knowledge to pass it on.

The Human Firewall
The allegory of the human firewall is to be taken quite seriously. Understanding of malware and other threats is the first real line of defense against digital incursions of any sort. The truth is that most of these things get in because people can be taken advantage of through targeted hostile email attachments, dubious links, and rather gross social engineering that can cause people to let things in or divulge crucial account information.
All of these things can happen to perfectly competent, intelligent people who in other situations aren’t remotely gullible. Hackers and other exploiters are counting on some level of gullibility when it comes to digital concerns, and the best way to thwart these tactics is to prepare everyone to not fall for their deception in the first place. But, how is this accomplished?
Email Security Training Seminars
People balk at the word “training”, but in this case, it’s the only way to solve the problem in a proactive and effective way. Employees need to be exposed to how malware, viruses and other criminal tactics like this work. They need to have a full understanding of the threats, so they know the gravity of them, and how to keep all the doors shut so they cannot get in.
Given that most of this sort of thing travels via emails through phishing and other sometimes more aggressive means, they need to be exposed, in a safe environment, to what hostile attachments can look like, and what malicious links attempting to socially engineer them tend to look like as well. There tend to be some very serious tells, once people know what they’re looking for. This kind of training will see to it that they do.

Understanding Security Software
Most people are familiar with consumer-level antivirus software, with simple “check for problems” and “check this download” sorts of features. However, industrial, enterprise security software can be quite a bit more sophisticated. Proper training on how to interact with it and understand crucial things it may be pointing out can go a long way towards preventing other, sneakier things from creeping in as well.
A proper understanding of this technology and the nature of the threats, as well as a good rundown of proper common sense when it comes to opening incoming files and links can prevent 99% of malware, viruses, ransomware and other hazards that commonly happen.
