Cyber Security Awareness: Employee Handbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798849441375)

Cyber Security Awareness for employees, without the rocket science.

If you think that the latest Cyber Security software alone will save you from ransomware and financial scams, you are probably wrong. Humans are the weakest link in Cyber Security, and without effective training, sooner or later you will get hacked.

Use this book as a teaching aid in your Cyber Security Awareness campaigns, or as a standalone employee handbook, to improve your employees' awareness about Cyber Security threats, and how to avoid them.

Although this book has been written primarily for employees, it is suitable for anyone who regularly uses computers, smartphones or any other electronic device, or the Internet, because nowadays, almost everyone needs a baseline in Cyber Security Awareness.

OK, so what is covered in this book?

• First, the book clarifies what exactly Cyber Security is.
• Then it looks at the reasons why everyone needs awareness in Cyber Security.
• Then the book highlights how you may be vulnerable to attack by hackers and criminals.
• Next, it covers the different steps you must take to prevent, cyber-attacks.
• It also covers what to do and not to do if you are ever a victim of a cyber-attack.
• There are two short chapters covering how to report personal cyber-crimes, and how to report more serious incidents that affect critical infrastructure.
• The book also includes some simple exercises to help you validate your Cyber Security awareness as you go through the book.
• Finally at the end of the book there are some useful tools and resources, to help you improve your Cyber Security at work or at home.
