And don't forget, cyber insurance is just one piece of the puzzle. 🚩 You still need to beef up your cybersecurity measures. Make a smart choice based on what you need and chat with an insurance advisor if you need some guidance. 📩 Contact Support Tree if you need guidance on this. #SupportTree #Cybersecurity

To defend against phishing attacks, it’s essential to understand the different types and how they occur. ☠️ 📩 The key to prevention lies in building strong cybersecurity awareness through training and practice. Phishing simulations are an effective way to educate users, helping them recognise and avoid attacks by exposing them to different types of phishing emails and testing their ability to spot them. These simulations provide hands-on experience, showing how easily one can be deceived by seemingly legitimate emails. With security training, employees are more likely to review emails, check URLs, and assess the context of communication carefully, rather than acting impulsively.
