Phishing is the most common form of cyber attack, and in the last couple of years it’s been the starting point for some of the most damaging attacks on unions. Around the world and in the UK, unions have lost millions to scams, had their members’ personal data stolen, and been locked out of their own technology by ransomware.
Unions are particularly at risk. We have limited budgets and often operating on older tech. We have large caches of sensitive data. And as highly decentralised organisations, we’re uniquely exposed to the risks of shadow IT, with all the risks that brings.
One way to reduce your union’s risk from phishing is to improve the impact of cyber security training using simulation – giving users a clearer understanding of moments of risk.
For this webinar, we were joined by Nationwide Group Staff Union Operations Manager James McCrossan and TUC vCIO Simon Parry. They talked about their own experiences with two different models of phishing simulation.
These case studies also feature in our recent report “Email phishing to keep unions safe”, which examines the pros and cons of each model for different types of union, and looks at some wider recommendations on phishing. Download a copy here.
