As technology controls become stronger and difficult to exploit, cyber-attack perpetrators often take the aid of social engineering techniques to bypass these controls. Organizations need to ensure that their employees and contractors are aware of such traps and that they know how to handle and report them. As the attacks get more and more innovative, organizations need to play the catch up game and refresh their staff’s awareness. Many business continuity and disaster recovery plans do not consider cyber security risks or their resilience plans. Organizations need to evaluate if their staff is adequately equipped to detect, defend, contain and respond to a cyber-incident.
