Employee negligence

Employee negligence happens when an employee doesn't take proper care, for example opening emails that contain phishing attacks, using virus-infected USBs or having weak passwords that invite cyber criminals into your business.

• Hurt your businesses brand or reputation
• Interrupt business as usual while the issue is being sorted
• Your customers' data could become compromised
• Your business critical information could be compromised or deleted

• Limit admin user access so only the people who need it have it
• Enforce strong password polices, especially on mobile devices
• Create a checklist of best cyber security practices, or use NZI's
  
• Train your employees on how to spot a cyber attack and what to do about it
• Have a response plan in place
