Are your best decisions made when you are tired and stressed?  Of course not!  The combination of being tired and stressed leads to most of our poor decisions and performance.  Nobody is surprised by this.
Here’s the bad news.  Nobody includes all of the criminals who would love to compromise the security of your business.  They won’t think twice about taking advantage of the stress already present in our lives.  They are counting on your staff not noticing subtle clues indicating a potential threat.
There are probably a couple of things you do and know so well, you can do them when you are tired or stressed.  You don’t need to think about doing them.  This is called unconscious competence.  The goal of security awareness training to bring you to a point of unconscious competence regarding security so you don’t have to think about whether that email attachment or link is suspicious.  Your unconscious mind will recognize it and help defend against it before your conscious mind has time to act.
If you have questions or are interested in learning more about security awareness training, you are welcome to join TPx and Telworx on Tuesday morning, October 18^th, at 10:00 Pacific for a complimentary, interactive workshop.
