From IT: Cybersecurity Training, Cybersecurity Mindfulness
💻 The Q1 and Q2 2025 Cybersecurity Training has been sent and is due by April 29. A big thank you to the 78 employees who completed it within the first 24 hours!
💻 In our fast-paced digital world, constant emails, messages, and notifications can make us more vulnerable to cyber threats. Cybercriminals exploit distractions through phishing and social engineering tactics to trick users into costly mistakes. Stay vigilant — pause before you click and make cybersecurity mindfulness part of your daily routine. Your awareness is our best defense! Read more in this month's Sage Guard newsletter. (You also have access to Sage Guard newsletter archive.)
