In early February 2023 we managed to conduct our first Cyber Security Human Firewall workshop entitled “Cyber Threat Detection for & Response for Non-IT Employees”. Despite its titled, we had many IT managers attenting the workshop. Good news is it was well receive.

The workshop focused on attending to cyber breaches caused by human errors and behaviours. The internet has connected the world in extraordinary ways and created new opportunities for individuals and businesses.

However, with these opportunities come risks, particularly in the form of cyber-attacks. Luckily, with the right steps and measures, organizations can build an effective human firewall to protect their systems and data.

Here are a few steps towards building an effective human firewall to improve cyber security:

1. Educate your employees: Training users in basic security hygiene helps protect against cyber-attacks. Encourage employees to remain vigilant and monitor their activity online.

2. Use strong passwords: Encourage users to use a mix of symbols, numbers and capital and lower case letters when creating passwords, as well as regularly update them for maximum protection.

3. Use two-factor authentication: Add extra layers of security to online accounts and transactions by implementing two-factor authentication for secure access.

4. Restrict access to confidential data: Implement role-based access control to ensure that employees can see only what’s necessary for their work and grant access to sensitive data only when required.

5. Monitor user activity: Monitor user activity so you can detect any malicious behavior or attempts to access confidential data.

By implementing these best practices in security, businesses can create a human firewall to protect their systems and data and keep them safe from cyber-attack.

We also featured the Vigilante Program for our first batch of participants. For businesses that are looking to protect their data, networks, and systems from cyber threats, the Vigilante Cyber Security Program is the perfect solution. It is an advanced, cloud-based security program that provides real-time protection to businesses around the world. It utilizes AI-enabled technologies to help identify potential attacks and provide immediate protection.

This program is designed to reduce the risk of data breaches and malware, as well as improve compliance with industry regulations. With Vigilante Cyber Security Program, your business can stay ahead of the game when it comes to cyber security and protect itself from the latest threats.
