Why is cybersecurity training important for me as an employee?
You are the first line of defense for our organization. Cybercriminals often target employees through tactics like phishing, as it's easier to exploit human error than to bypass complex security software. Your awareness and a few simple habits can prevent data breaches, protect our company, and secure your personal information.
What is a phishing email, and how can I spot one?
A phishing email is a fraudulent message designed to trick you into revealing sensitive information, like passwords or bank details, or to install malware. You can spot one by looking for these red flags:

Urgency: The message creates a sense of panic or urgency ("Your account will be suspended!").

Grammar Errors: It contains misspellings or poor grammar.

Unusual Sender: The email address looks suspicious, even if the display name is a known colleague or company.

Suspicious Links: The link text looks legitimate, but when you hover over it, the actual URL is different.

What should I do if I receive a suspicious email?
Do not click on any links, open any attachments, or reply to the email. Instead, report it immediately to the IT or security department. If you are unsure, it is always better to be safe than sorry.
