A company is planning to run a security awareness campaign that focuses on identifying email threats. Which option would be the BEST to include in the campaign to effectively educate employees on recognizing and reporting potential phishing attempts?
Sending out a company-wide email with a list of tips for identifying phishing emails.
Hosting a quarterly security seminar that covers a range of security awareness topics, including phishing.
Distributing a monthly newsletter that covers various topics, including a brief section on email security.
Conducting tailored phishing exercises with immediate feedback for employees who fall for the simulated attack.
The correct answer is tailored phishing exercises because they are interactive, simulate actual phishing attacks, and can be designed to reflect recent trends in phishing techniques. Immediate feedback helps reinforce learning by showing employees exactly what they missed and how to respond. An email with tips is less interactive and may not be as engaging or practical. A monthly newsletter, while useful for reminders, can be overlooked and does not provide hands-on experience. A quarterly security seminar is too infrequent to keep pace with evolving phishing tactics.
