Federated Insurance® Think Before You Click

Trained employees are a business’ best defense against cyber events

 

A single mistake can open the door to potentially devastating data breaches. Whether it’s clicking on a malicious email link or using weak passwords, human error is a major contributor to cyberattacks. Federated Insurance® reminds your members, our clients, that 82% of data breaches are caused by human error1.

This June, Federated Insurance highlights the importance of employee training in reducing cyber risks. With the right knowledge, employees can become a business’ first line of defense against cyber threats.

Federated® encourages businesses to take action by accessing the complimentary resources available on mySHIELD®. This includes a one-page cybersecurity handout, designed to help business owners and their employees recognize potential risks and protect sensitive information.
