1. 01 The employees should use strong
passcodes on their phones.

But they can be cracked when the
phones get stolen.
Why is cybersecuity
training for Mobiles
important?
Smartphones are the most powerful devices of our
time. But, indeed, they can also be misused by
hackers.
They store the most sensitive data about a person and
once anyone unscrupulous gets access to them, he
can wreak havoc.
Therefore, companies must teach the employees to
make their mobile phones secure.
2. Cyber security training is essential for employees to
learn how to set fingerprint or facial authentication
on their devices.
If such authentication is not possible, then it's
better to use two-factor authentication for crucial
apps. And the pin code under this authentication
should be sent on another device.

Ways to protect data when a phone gets
stolen:
3. When the phone
has not been
stolen but
hacked:
The worst part is when an employee’s phone has not been stolen, but has been hacked. Then the
employee’s data is being used without his knowledge. This is more troublesome, for example, when
Pegasus software is installed; it collects all your data through keylogger software and sends it to an
organization who can sell it.
Once the email ID and password are stolen, cybercriminals can get access to company emails. They
can also access to documents that have been shared through such email ids.
A company can lose the trust of customers when a such data breach happens. There can be trouble
when such documents contain vendor payment details
4. Problems can arise when anyone clicks on
a phishing link and download such
software. The employees have to be
taught through cyber awareness training
how to recognize such links and not click
on them. Such links can also be included
in text messages apart from emails, and
hence employees have to be cautious.
Ever since the concept of apps came into
the picture where everything can be
accessed through this software, phishing
attacks have increased.
Phishing emails
Using public Wi-Fi:
How does
hacking
happen?
The employees must be taught not to use their
smartphones with public Wi-Fi. It's because when the
data is transferred on such networks, it’s not
encrypted and can be accessed by hackers.
So, employees must only use mobile data even
though public Wi-Fi is available. Hence cybersecurity
training teaches employees how to prevent the
hacking of their smartphones.
5. How to prevent
hacking:
Antivirus apps can prevent any installation of malware on the
Smartphone. So, if anyone gets across a phishing link, it
prevents him from clicking on it.
They also give employees access to VPN so that they don’t use
public Wi-Fi which can prove to be dangerous.
Call blocker is also an essential function of these apps so that
unsuspecting users don’t reveal any sensitive information to
unknown callers.
In cyber security training, the companies can give a demo of
such antivirus apps to the employees.

6. How to conduct
Cybersecurity
training:
Simulations and games
to teach employees
Cybersecurity training is a
problem because the
employees are located in
different parts of the
world. So, they have
different work hours. They
can be sent games to learn
about cybersecurity.
These games can be in the
form of simulations where
heroes fight hackers.
Simulations and games
to teach employees
Train through positive
reinforcement
Employees should also be sent
phishing emails to test their
knowledge. If someone opens
such emails, inform them what is
phishing and what are the signs
of such emails.
You can also make sure that if a
certain employee receives such
emails and reports them to the IT
team; he is acknowledged in
front of others.
