[Keep An Eye Out] Beware of New Holiday Gift Card Scams
By Roger A. Grimes
Every holiday season brings on an increase in gift card scams. Most people love to buy and use gift cards. They are convenient, easy to buy, easy to use, easy to gift, usually allow the receiver to pick just what they want, and are often received as a reward for doing something.
The gift card market is estimated in the many hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars. Who doesn't like to get a free gift card? Unfortunately, scammers often use gift cards as a way to steal value from their victims. There are dozens of ways gift cards can be used by scammers to steal money.
Roger covers these three scams in a short [VIDEO] and in detail on the KnowBe4 blog:

2022-11-03 10:00:00 | Minimizing security concerns of ESOPs (lien direct) | The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author. AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article. Retirement plans are an easily overlooked but often critical cybersecurity concern. Employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), while less common than others, may face particular risks. ESOPs can provide a valuable way to foster employee engagement and reward loyal workers, but businesses must consider their cybersecurity risks. Without proper security, these plans and those who depend on them may be in danger. ESOP security risks Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)-regulated plans covered an estimated $9.3 trillion as of 2018. Individual ones can hold millions of dollars, making them tempting targets for cybercriminals. ESOPs pose unique risks, as participating employees have an ownership stake in the company. Consequently, cyberattacks that damage the business’s reputation will affect ESOP participants. Lower stock values will reduce workers’ payouts when they retire. This ownership stake means an attack doesn’t have to target the retirement plan directly to impact its participants. Any cybersecurity incident against the business poses a significant risk, and ESOP security means safeguarding the entire company’s attack surface. How to minimize ESOP security concerns ESOP cybersecurity concerns are significant, but you can take several steps to address them. Here’s how you can mitigate these security risks. Assess company-specific risks The first step in ESOP cybersecurity is to assess your specific risk landscape. Every organization and plan within one has unique considerations determining the most effective mitigation measures, so these assessments are a crucial starting point. Every risk contains two key components: an event that could happen and the consequences if it does. Teams must compile a formal list of threats facing their ESOP plans, ensuring to cover both these categories. This will reveal the most important vulnerabilities to address, helping guide further security steps. Verify vendors Like many retirement plans, ESOPs typically rely on third-party vendors to manage funds. Consequently, breaches in these partners could impact the business itself. About 51% of all organizations have experienced a data breach from a third party, so verifying their security before going into business with them is crucial. Ask for third-party audits and similar proofs of security to ensure any vendors meet strict cybersecurity standards. Contracts should include detailed pictures of their security responsibilities and consequences for noncompliance. Ensuring all vendors have sufficient cybersecurity insurance is also a good idea. Minimize access You should minimize access privileges across the organization and its partners even after verification. Well-meaning employees can still make critical errors, but if each account can only use a few resources, a breach in one won’t jeopardize the entire system. Operate by the principle of least privilege: Every user, program and endpoint should only be able to access what it needs to work correctly. That applies to third parties as well as company insiders. This will minimize lateral movement risks, helping keep ESOPs safe from attacks elsewhere in the organization. Create a culture of Cybersecurity | Data Breach | ||

2022-10-27 10:00:00 | 11 Cybersecurity investments you can make right now (lien direct) | This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. The average cost of a data breach will continue to rise, which means companies need to start planning accordingly. To protect your business, you need to invest in cybersecurity. Here are 11 areas you should focus on. Cyber insurance Cyber insurance is designed to protect businesses from the financial repercussions of a cyber-attack. It can cover costs such as business interruption, data recovery, legal expenses, and reputational damage. It is increasingly common across industries and at companies of all sizes, even small businesses, which have become a growing target of cybercriminals. Cyber insurance has also become a new compliance requirement in many industries, including healthcare, finance, and retail. In the event of a data breach, companies are often required to notify their customers and partners, which can be costly. Cyber insurance can help cover these expenses. Employee training Employees are often the weakest link in a company's cybersecurity defenses. They may not be aware of the latest cyber threats or how to protect themselves from them. That's why it's important to provide employees with regular training on cybersecurity risks and best practices. There are many different types of employee training programs available, ranging from in-person seminars to online courses. Some companies even offer financial incentives for employees who complete training programs. In the remote work era, employee education also increasingly means arming remote workers with knowledge that will keep company data safe while they are working on networks that might not be well secured. This is especially the case if you know people are connecting via public networks at cafes, co-working spaces, and airports. Endpoint security Endpoints are the devices that connect to a network, such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets. They are also a common entry point for cyber-attacks. That's why it's important to invest in endpoint security, which includes solutions such as antivirus software, firewalls, and encryption. You can invest in endpoint security by purchasing it from a vendor or by implementing it yourself. There are also many free and open-source solutions available. Make sure you test any endpoint security solution before deploying it in your environment. Identity and access management Identity and access management (IAM) is a process for managing user identities and permissions. It can be used to control who has access to what data and resources, and how they can use them. IAM solutions often include features such as Single Sign-On (SSO), which allows users to access multiple applications with one set of credentials, and two-factor authentication (2FA), which adds an extra layer of security. IAM solutions can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud. They can also be integrated with other security solutions, such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems. Intrusion detection and prevention Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) are designed to detect and prevent cyber-attacks. They work by monitoring network traffic for suspicious activity and blocking or flagging it as needed. IDPS solutions can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud. There are many different types of IDPS solutions available, ranging from simple network-based solutions to more sophisticated host-based ones. Make sure you choose a solution that is right for your environment and needs.
