Cybersecurity Basics

Look closely:
The question is on the next slide
2
You received the previous email from the IT department at your company
The email is authentic, it's safe to click the links before someone complains I didn't comply
I don't trust this email, I will not be using the links to update my password.

You’re working remotely, at a cyber café. The Wi-Fi is open and free. What’s the safest way to proceed?
Connect and log into your email, ensuring you log out afterward.
Connect to the Wi-Fi, but only access non-sensitive websites.
Avoid connecting and use your mobile data instead.
Connect and use a VPN to secure your connection, but proceed with caution.

You receive an email from a vendor your company has worked with before. It asks you to settle an overdue invoice for $10,000. The email is perfectly formatted, from the correct vendor email address, and includes detailed instructions for wiring the payment. What's your next step?
Wire the money since it's your responsibility, it’s a vendor you know.
Call the vendor using a known phone number to confirm the invoice is legitimate.
Forward the email to your accounting team and let them handle it.
Review your past invoices and check for any discrepancies before taking action.

You get an SMS from your bank: “Dear Customer, we’ve noticed suspicious activity on your account. Please verify your identity for security reasons [Link]. Or call our customer service [number]. Failure to act may result in temporary account suspension."
Click the link and log in to secure your account
Ignore the message—it’s probably a scam
Call the bank using the number on their official website to verify the message
Call the provided number for further investigation

You come across an advertisement for "Old Italian Houses" being sold for as little as 10€ as part of an effort to boost the economy in old villages.
This seems like a legitimate offer because I’ve heard of similar programs in the past.
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. I don't click and avoid interacting with the ad.
I’ll research the program using official government or real estate sources before clicking on anything.
I’ll click the ad to learn more, but avoid sharing any personal or payment details until I’m sure it's legitimate.

You land on an ad for the software you have been wanting for ages. The price has finally dropped down enough for you to afford. To complete the registration for the free trial you're asked to login your company credential. The website uses “https”, is secure and and the design looks top-notch
Go ahead and finish registration process. A free trial is almost the standard these days
Check the website’s URL and compare it with the official vendor site
Try calling customer support to verify their legitimacy
Ask your boss if they're okay with using the company credentials on this website.
