Educate users!
Meaning:
End users are often the first line of defense in IT. Training them on best practices, security awareness, and proper use of systems reduces errors, security risks, and support requests.
Why it matters:
-
Reduces mistakes: Fewer accidental deletions, misconfigurations, or system misuse.
-
Improves security: Users learn to recognize phishing, malware, and unsafe behavior.
-
Boosts productivity: People know how to use tools effectively.
-
Decreases support load: Fewer tickets for common issues.
-
Encourages compliance: Ensures company policies are followed.
Key Practices:
-
Provide regular training sessions (in-person or online).
-
Create easy-to-follow guides, cheat sheets, or videos.
-
Teach security awareness, e.g., passwords, phishing, and device safety.
-
Encourage questions and feedback to improve understanding.
-
Remind users of company IT policies and why they exist.
