Would any of your staff click the link?

Phishing is a huge threat to your business’s cyber security. Criminals send emails that appear to be from a trusted source like a bank or key supplier. But the goal is to get you to click on a bad link. This can lead to the installation of a virus or malicious software. In some cases you allow the criminals to gain direct remote control to the company’s network which leads to a ransomware attack.

As a business owner or manager, it’s important to ask yourself. who would click the link? It’s imperative to educate your staff on how to identify phishing emails and how to respond when they receive one. This includes not clicking on any links, or replying to the supposed sender. To verify the legitimacy of the email, and reporting any suspicious emails, it’s always better to contact the IT department.

Taking proactive measures like regular training sessions and testing your staff’s knowledge on phishing emails can reduce the risk of a successful phishing attack. Remember, it only takes one click on a bad link to cause serious damage to your business’s data and bank account. Prioritize cyber security and stay vigilant against phishing attempts. You can protect your business and your customers from harm if you know what to look for.
