So we had this interesting thing happen to a client of ours and they were a manufacturer. So we do training, we have security in place, but the interesting thing is what happens when an attack happens and it bypasses all the security? So they actually had a Word document go to a employee inside the network.

And the strange thing, it was a resume. And even though that person wasn’t in human resources, they went ahead and opened up the attachment. They grabbed all their contacts in their email and started sending their customer base emails as if it was coming from them. You know, once the bad guys get that information, they have that information. There’s no way to pull that back.

So we started intense training so that their employees understand what to look for, right? It doesn’t matter that we have security in place, but it’s so important to teach the employees what to look for. They become their own firewall.

With that being said, your cybersecurity is only as good as your team as a group of people that are working within your organization.
