Section 3. Cyber Security Best Practices for every Professional (10 Core Practices)
In today’s business environment, every employee plays a vital role in protecting company data and systems. This section presents 10 core cyber security practices, tailored for employees handling business data and using company systems. Each practice includes real-world examples and guidance to help employees apply secure behaviors in their daily work.
3.1. Secure Authentication
When accessing company systems, emails, or cloud services, employees must use strong, unique passwords and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA). This prevents unauthorized access to sensitive business data.
3.2. Identifying and Avoiding Phishing & AI-Driven Scams
Employees must stay alert to phishing emails, especially those impersonating vendors, clients, or executives. Be cautious of links or attachments and verify unusual requests through a known contact method.
3.3. Preventing and Responding to Ransomware Attacks
Employees should avoid downloading files from unknown sources and regularly back up their work. If a ransomware warning appears, disconnect from the network and contact the IT team immediately.
3.4. Identifying and Reporting Cyber Security Incidents
Report any unusual activity, such as unexpected system behavior or unauthorized access attempts, immediately to the security team. Quick reporting can prevent data breaches.
3.5. Safe Internet and Email Practices
Avoid accessing sensitive work systems on public Wi-Fi without a VPN. Always verify email attachments and links before clicking to prevent malware infections.
3.6. Preventing Data Mishandling & Unauthorized Access
Handle confidential business data according to company policies. Store files on secure platforms and limit access to authorized personnel only.
3.7. Securing Your Mobile Devices
Protect mobile devices that access company systems by enabling biometric authentication and encrypting data. Keep business apps updated and report lost devices immediately.
3.8. Securing Remote Work Environments
Ensure secure remote access to company systems by using the official VPN, keeping software updated, and locking your screen when away from your desk.
3.9. Safe Social Media Use
Be cautious about sharing company-related information on social platforms. Cybercriminals often gather intelligence from social media to target businesses.
3.10. Safe AI Usage Practices
Use AI tools in compliance with company policies. Do not input confidential business information into public AI models and verify outputs for accuracy.

This section covers key principles of data protection, privacy laws, and best practices for handling personal and organizational data securely. Participants will learn how to manage data responsibly and reduce the risk of privacy breaches.
