Attitude IT works closely with manufacturing and construction companies and often it is because we share the safety first culture of those businesses. We approach cybersecurity similarly to how manufacturing and construction businesses tackle health and safety on the job sight. Making regular audits, implementing new controls , quickly replacing failing equipment and regularly training and testing their team.
Cybersecurity training can be added slowly to an organization, as a quick touch base meeting with each department, a coaching moment led by your IT department and then built up to be an annual training day. You can add phishing emails to test your teams ability to identify a fake. Offer rapid fire quizzes on the sales floor with fun prizes.
When changes are being implemented in the business, employees often want to know the why behind them. As your business adds better security there can be moments where employees are learning to use the more improved systems. This helps make them feel involved in the process and feel comfortable reaching out to your IT Team for support. In large businesses where often different departments do not get the chance to connect creating an environment of safety first helps to build a great culture of communication.
Your employees are going to spot trouble way faster and make changes quickly to keep the business running smoothly. There are going to be more engaged eyes spotting anything that is not working within the normal routine- equipment running slower , email from vendor that looks a bit funny, lights blinking red where they should be green and they are going to notify the right person to fix the issue right away. No more down time!
Incident response teams will include every department and SOP's will be updated regularly, your team will work together to remediate a potential incident and act quickly during a real emergency- black out, breech etc.
No more easy targets- even new staff will be able to identify a phishing email and be able to verify the source- no more lost profit!
Better protection for every business, being able to say you have the right security and training in place will help your clients and vendors feel at easy knowing your team keeps data protection top of mind.
