Technology is changing quickly, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now part of everyday life. Because of that, it can be harder to tell what is real and what is fake. This creates new cybersecurity risks for employees and the Company.
What are some examples of Cybersecurity threats?
- Phishing emails, phone calls, or text messages that try to trick you into sharing information or clicking a bad link
- Using generic or default passwords
- Using public or unsecured Wi-Fi networks without protection
