Lessons Included

The five lessons are written in plain language for non-technical staff.

  2. The threat landscape

    The people behind attacks, their motives and their usual entry points.

  3. The human layer

    How attackers exploit trust and routine rather than technology.

  4. Core defenses

    Patching, strong passwords, multi-factor authentication and limiting access to what each job needs.

  5. Your daily role

    The handful of habits that make an employee a hard target.
