It’s safe to assume that with enough effort an employee’s username and password could be guessed and/or stolen. This is exactly what MFA protects against. With MFA, if a bad actor obtains an employee’s username and password, they still cannot access the application because they will not have the MFA token, such as a code that’s provided via text, email, an app, etc. Chubb policyholders have access to an MFA Assessment solution to help you identify gaps in your organization’s MFA deployment, as well as access to additional MFA Implementation Services to help you address identified exposures.
Most systems require a password, and managing multiple, complex passwords that are often difficult to remember is challenging for everyone. This makes it all too easy to revert to bad habits such as using simple passwords, reusing passwords across multiple sites and services, or even writing passwords down and storing them in a place where others might find them. This increases the risk of an unauthorized user accessing your accounts if a password is guessed, lost, or stolen. Using a secure password manager application makes it easier for your employees to create and use stronger passwords, which are the foundation of sound online security practices.
Cyber criminals frequently use email to entice employees to click on malicious links or attachments. For unaware employees, acting on these malicious emails can lead to malware infection, theft of usernames/passwords, or cyber extortion via ransomware. With a Phishing Simulator, you can test a sample of your employees to see how well they respond to two unique simulated phishing attacks, then use the results to adjust your user awareness programs.
Email containing malicious content is frequently used by cyber criminals to gain access to your data or even lock your systems, leading to significant system downtime. In fact, according to Verizon’s 2021 Data Breach Investigation Report[WJL1] , phishing has been one of the top causes of cyber incidents for the past two years. While phishing simulations will help you train your employees on identifying malicious emails, Perimeter Email Security goes even further, establishing an email firewall that helps detect and prevent malicious emails from being delivered in the first place.
Being able to recognize suspicious behavior is critical when it comes to preventing a cyber incident. Since bad actors continually find new ways to trick people (e.g., via email, social networks, and phone), it is imperative that your employees are regularly trained on cyber security best practices and how to identify potential threats. With this online security training, Chubb’s cyber policyholders have access to two courses: Security Awareness Basics and Security Awareness for Information Technology. Managers are even able to download reports to view employee results and course completion statistics.
