What is not the point of 4 Ways to Train Employees on Cybersecurity?

• Build a company culture of responsibility and transparency

• Take inventory

• Reward cyber-safe employees

• Invest in meaningful and up-to-date training

Answer explanation

企业组织可以准确地跟踪动态并实施保障，但员工的管理仍是一个薄弱环节。Kyndryl对此的建议是采取以下四个安全步骤:

1. 建立负责透明的公司文化：公司领导者必须创造一个负责透明文化的企业环境，提供网络安全教育，让员工在报告任何潜在安全威胁时都不会产生顾虑。

2. 投资网络安全和教育培训：企业必须验证培训意义并说明培训对员工的重要性、鼓励员工参与和熟记信息，这有助于在预防和中止安全隐患。

3.强化安全意识，提高警惕性：网络攻击者很容易利用公开的社交媒体信息加上生成式人工智能进行网络钓鱼攻击，员工很难区分合法链接和伪装的网络钓鱼链接。通过定期教育，团队可以了解这些复杂的威胁并加强警觉意识。

4. 奖励回馈：奖励正确发现并报告攻击的员工与为员工提供安全教育培训同样重要。奖励制度可以激励那些遵循最佳实践的人，促进团队积极参与网络安全文化。
