April 2022: New Security Awareness Content
We have been busy adding more content to our Security Awareness Training. Here is a collection of what's new in March.
Real Life Stories
"That’s when it hit me - I'm getting hacked! This could only happen if the scammers had my phone! I was freaking out! I didn’t have service so I used my husband’s phone to call our cell provider. After I told them what was going on, they said: 'Sorry ma’am, but you just requested that we activate your SIM Card from somewhere else. You even sent us your photo ID. We can’t help something that you just did!' But here’s the thing, I didn’t."
Compliance Training Videos
In this 3-part compliance training series, we discuss what is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), how to understand your unconscious bias as it pertains to workplace behavior, and ways to respond to offensive behavior whether you feel offended or feel like you may have offended.

Steve Is Shy ... Is Steve A Librarian or A Saleperson?
Many people will assume that Steve is a librarian, however, there are way more salespeople than librarians - so statistically speaking, Steve is more likely to be a salesperson. This is called the “base rate” bias, and it’s when people ignore the bigger picture (base rate) and only focus on specific information. You see, statistics can be very misleading, and marketers do this all the time to lead us to their “preferred” conclusion. It is also why we stereotype and say that librarians are shy. So what does this have to do with Cyber Security?
What Is Spear Fishing and How To Avoid It
You’ve probably heard the term phishing thrown around during your annual security awareness training. Similar to the relaxing repast some find in the actual fishing activity, spear phishing actually selects its target purposefully whether it is an individual or a selected group of individuals with the end game getting said individual or group to take a specific action that leads to either a breach of sensitive information, unauthorized access to a device(s) or an unwitting financial payout to the criminal organization.
