What is covered in our cybersecurity awareness training?

Our cyber security awareness training covers a range of topics to ensure that your team is equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to protect your business. Below, you can read about three topics we cover in training. By working with Talos Tech, you have the ability to add specialized content to meet your specific business needs.

Phishing Scams

The first topic we typically cover in training is phishing scams. Phishing scams are a common tactic used by cybercriminals to gain access to sensitive information. These scams often involve sending fraudulent emails or texts that appear to be from a legitimate source, such as a bank or government agency, in an attempt to trick the recipient into providing sensitive information or clicking on a malicious link.

In our cybersecurity awareness training, we cover the following topics related to phishing scams:

How to identify phishing scams: We teach your employees how to recognize the signs of a phishing attack, such as unexpected emails or texts from unfamiliar sources or requests for personal information.
What to do if you receive a phishing email: We teach your team what steps to take if they receive a suspicious email, such as verifying the authenticity of the sender and not clicking on any links or providing any personal information.
How to report phishing scams: We teach your employees how to report phishing scams to the appropriate authorities and how to do so safely.
How to prevent phishing scams: We also teach your team about best practices for preventing phishing attacks, such as being cautious of unsolicited emails and texts and keeping their security software up to date.

Password security

The second topic we typically cover in training is password security. One of the most important aspects of cybersecurity is strong password management. Weak passwords can be easily guessed or hacked, making them a vulnerable point for cyber attacks. That’s why it’s important to teach your team how to create strong, unique passwords and how to regularly update them.

In our cybersecurity awareness training, we cover the following topics related to password security:

How to create strong passwords: We teach your team how to create passwords that are hard to guess or hack. This includes using a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, as well as avoiding the use of personal information or common words.
The importance of using unique passwords: It's important for each employee to use a different password for each of their accounts, as using the same password for multiple accounts leaves them vulnerable if one of those accounts is hacked.
How to manage passwords: We teach your team about password management tools and techniques that can help them keep track of their passwords without compromising security.
The importance of regularly updating passwords: Regularly updating passwords helps to prevent cybercriminals from accessing your accounts, even if they manage to guess or hack a password. We teach your team the importance of regularly changing their passwords and how to do so safely.

Identifying and reporting potential vulnerabilities

Identifying and reporting potential vulnerabilities in your systems is an important aspect of cybersecurity. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by cybercriminals to gain access to your data or systems, so it’s essential to identify them and take steps to address them as quickly as possible.

In our cybersecurity awareness training, we cover the following topics related to identifying and reporting potential vulnerabilities:

How to identify potential vulnerabilities: We teach your employees how to recognize the signs of a potential vulnerability, such as unusual system behavior or the presence of unfamiliar software.
How to report potential vulnerabilities: We teach your team how to safely report any potential vulnerabilities they identify to the appropriate individuals, such as IT staff or cybersecurity experts.
Ways to prevent vulnerabilities: We also teach your team about best practices for preventing vulnerabilities. For example, keeping software and security systems up to date and following safe browsing practices.
The importance of timely reporting: We emphasize the importance of reporting potential vulnerabilities as soon as they are identified. This can help to minimize the risk of a data breach or other security incident.
