Security Awareness Training

In this in-depth Security Awareness Training, host Jeremy Cherny explores how a security incident can occur, as well as how people can best protect their data to remain secure. What is a Security Incident? A Security Incident is any breach in your CIA. CIA is an acronym for these 3 areas with the first being the Confidentiality of your internal and/or external data or systems meaning that a breach occurs when someone has access to your data that shouldn’t. The “I” stands for the Integrity of your data and systems so it’s safe from corruption and unauthorized changes. Lastly, the “A” refers to the Availability of your systems and data so they are working and ready when you need them. So when you think of security breaches, think of the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of your data and systems. Remember that security is only as good as your weakest links so make sure that you have all your blind spots covered! Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) A CVE is a dictionary that provides definitions for publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures. Every time there is a new security hole discovered in a device or software, it is given a CVE number. Over time, these vulnerabilities and security holes have been being discovered at a much higher rate which is one of the reasons why cybersecurity is so crucial in today’s day and age. Back in 1999, there were only 1,000 or so CVE’s that had been discovered versus in 2018 alone where there were over 16,000 CVS’s discovered. Another point to be made about CVE’s is that these are only the ones we know about and there could be thousands of other vulnerabilities that are out there which just have yet to be discovered. Face The Facts It’s almost certain that you will face multiple security incidents over time and although it may not be a big issue, it is still important to take the necessary steps to reduce the number and severity of security incidents. It is also important to note that even though steps can be made to reduce the number of incidents, you can’t eliminate them all because over time nothing is 100% effective. Although security incidents are becoming more complex every day, education, planning, and preparation are the only actions you can take to significantly reduce the number and scope of these incidents as well as to recover from any security incident you may face. Lastly, we advocate for you to trust no one and to always verify your security with a third party to ensure that you are staying safe. Top Reasons You Will Have A Security Incident <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Using Vulnerable Technology - If you use old technology that hasn’t been updated with security patches, or new technology which hasn’t had security patches applied can lead to vulnerability. </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Failure To Follow Best-Practices For Installation & Configuration - For example, many in-home routers will have a default password set up and a lot of people never change that password where the best practice would be to go in and change it to protect yourself.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Lack of Written Policies - Written policies help you have a plan in place to protect yourself from security incidents.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Lack of Education For Everyone In Your Organization - When people don’t know what they should be looking out for, they’re far more likely to stumble into something dangerous.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Failure To Plan & Prepare - Planning and preparing is crucial to avoiding security incidents, as well as recovering when one does occur.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Failure To Monitor, Audit, and Maintain Policies and Systems - Consistently ensuring that all your systems are functioning properly will decrease vulnerabilities. </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Security is Inconvenient - Many people will avoid security because it’s an extra password, or it takes more time so they bypass it leading to a higher chance of a security incident. </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">People Are Human - This is the biggest reason for all security breaches as everyone at some point will click something they shouldn’t by accident. </li> </ol> What is Security Awareness Training? Security Awareness Training is training and awareness for your computer users, training as part of onboarding new employees, newsletters and alerts about new security threats and scams, testing and reporting, targeted education for critical roles and repeat offenders, and lastly, ongoing education that never stops.

Get To Know Microsoft Teams

Host Jeremy Cherny discusses how to use Microsoft Teams as well as best practices. What is Microsoft Teams? If you haven't used it before, Microsoft Teams is a bit like texting or messenger on your phone in that it allows you to send messages to individuals, create group chats, and share files such as PDFs or photos. It’s much more than just that though. You can also create video chats for things such as one on ones, group chats, meetings, or video conferencing and because Teams can access apps such as SharePoint, Planner, and OneNote just to name a few, your team can work collaboratively on whatever they desire. On the whole, Microsoft Teams helps businesses because it helps keep everyone in the know and on the same page which increases communication, collaboration, and productivity. Teams and Channels What is the difference between Teams and Channels? Teams are a collection of people, content, and tools surrounding different projects and outcomes within an organization. Channels are dedicated sections within a team to keep conversations and work organized by specific topics, projects, or disciplines. An easy way to look at it is the Team is the organization as a whole, and each Channel entails a specific department within that organization. Larger businesses may have to create a specific Team for each department and then create Channels for specific topics that are owned by that department. This really allows organizations to organize their work and conversations with ease. Whenever you create a Team, a Channel called General will automatically be created, and it’s up to you to create other channels to fit your organization best. Chatting and Conversations Teams makes it far more efficient to communicate and collaborate due to the fact that traditionally, you would have to be doing all that communication through email. With Teams, those conversations show up as chats which speeds up the communication process tenfold. Within Teams, you have the ability to create chats which Teams calls chat-based collaboration. You have the ability to create one on one chats, group chats, chats within a specific Channel, chats in relation to documents that are being worked on, etc. How does this speed up the collaboration process? With Teams, your conversations and documents all stay in one centralized location so you have the ability to make changes, add comments, and chat with your team all in one place. Your chats within Teams are permanent so even when you exit out of, the chats are still there for you to access when you log back on. Files and Collaboration Within each team and channel, you have the ability to upload new documents, edit documents, or create new documents. You can even add cloud storage by connecting your Teams account with a 3rd party software such as SharePoint, Dropbox, ShareFile, or Google Drive. One of the best features of Microsoft Teams is that when you are uploading documents you have the option to use the “Co-Author” feature. The Co-Author feature allows multiple people to be in the same document at the same time, working simultaneously. This could be beneficial when you have a meeting agenda and multiple people are updating the agenda with their information, or if multiple people are creating a presentation and they can work together at the same time as opposed to emailing the presentation and working on it one at a time.

Get to know Microsoft Planner

Host Jeremy Cherny discusses best practices and how to use Microsoft Planner. What is Microsoft Planner? Microsoft Planner does not have a desktop component, it is strictly from the web. It's also from your apps on your phone and tablets. So right now, there is no desktop component. So you go to Office and sign in with your credentials. It's kind of like task management for teams. Some might call it light project management. There are a lot of different ways to look at it depending on how you're going to use it. We've started to use it here at Tobin Solutions for a few small projects. So we understand how these things work so we can support them for you. Create an event We're going to start by creating a new plan. For purposes of this project, we're going to create a customer appreciation event. Now when you create the event or the planner plan, you can select what privacy level. So by default, it's a private meeting - only members that you add can see the contents of it. So that would be great if you have a project or plan that is just meant for a few people. If it's something for your whole company, then you would say it's public and then you'd be able to have that there and everyone in your company would be able to go in and see that plan and have access to it. The permissions are not that granular. So at this point, you either have access to it or you don't. There's not a lot of ways of controlling access to individual tasks and elements within the plan. Down at the options, you can also add some additional information so people know what this is like a party for our favorite customer. Groups One thing I want to point out - and this is an important piece - is Planner works really well hand-in-hand with Microsoft Outlook. So one of the features that you may or may not be aware of with Office 365 is this concept of Groups. Groups are just groups of people in your organization. Those groups get created behind the scenes for your use in different ways. So, since I am part of this customer appreciation party plan, if I open up Outlook, you can now see under Groups, it created this customer appreciation group. When I click on that, it says, “Welcome to the customer appreciation party group.” Groups are a special thing within Outlook. We could do a whole other demonstration and webinar on that. But basically, a group has its own mailbox and its own calendar and stores all the information together. So, if you create a plan, in Planner, it's going to automatically create a group for you. Likewise, if you create a group in Outlook, it's going to automatically create a plan for you that will show up under the plans. So they work hand-in-hand. Tasks This is a customer appreciation event, so what are some things we're going to need to do? First, we want to click on the plus sign. Then, I think the first thing we need to do is we need to select a date for our party. That would be a task that we need to do. We may also need to select a venue that may or may not be at our office. We need to create a team. So I just created a few tasks. Right now this is under what's called a bucket that’s called to-do. We're going to talk a little more about buckets as we go forward. You can rename these buckets, but they are essentially lists of tasks. If I open up this, create the team, you'll see it's in the to-do bucket, but the progress has not started. It doesn't have a start date or a due date. There's also no description. So I could start to put that together and say, “When do I want to get this done?” And I’m going to enter that date.
