A company is planning to run a security awareness campaign that focuses on identifying email threats. Which option would be the BEST to include in the campaign to effectively educate employees on recognizing and reporting potential phishing attempts?
Distributing a monthly newsletter that covers various topics, including a brief section on email security.
Sending out a company-wide email with a list of tips for identifying phishing emails.
Conducting tailored phishing exercises with immediate feedback for employees who fall for the simulated attack.
Hosting a quarterly security seminar that covers a range of security awareness topics, including phishing.
The correct answer is tailored phishing exercises because they are interactive, simulate actual phishing attacks, and can be designed to reflect recent trends in phishing techniques. Feedback from these exercises can be used to educate employees about real-world scenarios. An email with tips is less interactive and may not be as engaging or practical for employees to learn from. A monthly newsletter, while useful for consistent reminders, can be ignored or overlooked by employees and does not provide hands-on experience. A quarterly security seminar is less frequent and thus may not address the urgency or evolve with the latest phishing tactics.
