Within the workplace, the employees are the driving force that creates successful situations for a business. In the average employee’s mind they are aware of the several risks that may make their way onto a work computer. In this day and age, technology and business coincide and personal security of these employees can translate to workplace security with a strong correlation. It is very common to understand, among those who use technology often, that spam emails are one of the most identifiable attempts of a cybersecurity breach. These emails could be made out to whoever and sent by anyone, usually consisting of poor imitation of a legitimate person or business (which is why they’re deemed most often identifiable). On the other side of the spectrum, there are individuals who are technologically illiterate who may pose a risk for a business. These people could be anywhere on the spectrum of how informed one may be about personal security risks and as the less informed make their way through different jobs, someone may make the wrong assumption of their security knowledge and omit a run-down of online security protocols that is essential for the strength of the company. When the hierarchy of a company isn’t preparing their employees from a weakest-link perspective, these managers increase the risk of a breach on account of not following protocol. An employee who isn’t informed on the subject of spam is likely to respond to an attempt and put the company in jeopardy. This possible breach could do little damage or they might have very serious repercussions like releasing customer data and in turn, being the source for a serial cybersecurity breach. The route that can minimize this business-ending possibility consists of informing every new employee of the same protocols and what they must do and look out for when it comes to working online with susceptibility to spam and other vulnerabilities.
