of cybersecurity and advocate priority
for security as core value from the very
companies driving innovation.

CYBERSECURITY
STARTS AT THE TOP

CYBER HYGIENE

According to a May 2016 Ponemon
Institute study, 94% of corporate
executives believe their company will
experience a significant cybersecurity
incident within the next two years,
while 83% feel unprepared and
incapable of resolving such incidents.
Further, the Ponemon Institute also
reported that while 45% of companies
have training and awareness programs
for cybersecurity, nearly one third of
them exempt board members and
executive officers from the training
requirements. So, what should a
company do? How can executives lead

Breaches may ultimately be inevitable,
but they are no less inevitable than the
physical or financial risks organizations are already adept at addressing.

should be driving the charge to ensure the most basic steps are taken
and that starts with cyber hygiene.

Phishing, fraud and identity theft have
grown insidious and more frequent. The
more complex the attacks, the more
companies need to focus on the fundamentals. A user name and password are
no longer adequate. Industry best practices dictate two-factor authentication
and the use of biometrics. Remember, a
hacker only needs a way in - one time.
Will it be through your email?

ONE PHISH. TWO PHISH...
Phishing is type of social engineering
that attempts to lure a recipient into
clicking on an attachment or URL that
will grant access to the attacker. Phishing emails are so good that employees
get tricked into clicking on them.

the percent of phishing emails
opened by targets in 2015
According to Verizon's 2016 Data
Breach Investigations Report, 30
percent of phishing messages were
opened by the target across all campaigns last year - up from 23 percent in the 2015 report - and 13
percent of those clicked to open the
