Help your employees and organisation stay safe
during the festive period
The festive period is a wonderful time for fraudsters. While many of us love nothing more than eating a traditional meal with loved ones or shopping in the sales, cybercriminals love this season for different reasons. They want to steal our money, our information and our identities. They will exploit our seasonal goodwill using a range of ever-changing and complex techniques….
Help keep your employees safe this festive season.
Treat yourself and your company to an early present and take advantage of our festive cybersecurity campaign.
Containing games, infographics, a digital advent calendar and other engaging content, our new ‘Staying safe, shopping and seasonal scams’ campaign doesn’t just teach your employees how to protect against the common tricks and cons we always see at this time, it also uses behavioural change methodology to ensure they carry on good cyber practices throughout the year.
While good information security practice is for life, the festive season is a time to be especially on guard…
…because criminals don’t take holidays.
