    We should ensure team stays abreast of cybersecurity by providing regular training on the most recent threats and best practices, simulate phishing exercises to test and help them improve their response to attacks. And protocols are reviewed and updated regularly to adapt to changing threats. Real-time threat intelligence and insights are shared through alerts and reports. Monthly knowledge-sharing sessions and participation in cybersecurity forums ensure continuous learning and collaboration.

    Defenders must always stay vigilant while attackers only need to succeed once by following below points we can defend Dedicated Resource for Security: by spending 2–3 hours per week to monitor security vulnerabilities in open-source technologies and conduct weekly update sessions with the team. Email Security: Since emails are the most vulnerable at an organizational level, conducting mock phishing attacks and sharing a monthly newsletter on cybersecurity can be highly beneficial. Mandatory Security Training: Regular security training sessions should be made mandatory for all team members. Cybersecurity Discussions: Hosting informal discussions about recent cyber attacks over lunch can raise awareness and encourage proactive behavior.

    Well I have been tried to get phished many times. One of the best ways to ensure resistance is by creating awareness through mock phishing sites. These awareness sites can help train people to understand: 1. What to do 2. What not to do 3. How to validate legitimate sites. 4. What measures needs to be taken inorder to avoid such scams.

    If I had a team, I would focus on keeping them ready by holding frequent training sessions that go over the most recent cybersecurity best practices and threats. Also, I would use simulated phishing exercises to evaluate and strengthen their answers in a safe setting. To keep everyone informed and involved, I would also make sure that our practices were clear, up-to-date, and flexible enough to accommodate changing risks. I would also provide real-world examples. Creating an awareness-based and proactive learning culture would be my first goal. This is all theoretical, of course.

    In our team, we would prioritize regular training and development. We host workshops and webinars that focus on the latest threats and best practices, helping everyone stay sharp and informed. Additionally, we subscribe to threat intelligence services to monitor emerging vulnerabilities and share this information promptly with the team. We also conduct simulated attacks, like phishing exercises, to give everyone hands-on experience in recognizing and responding to real threats. Open communication is key, so we encourage team members to discuss their concerns and share their experiences related to cybersecurity. This fosters a proactive mindset.

    Con 15 años en ciberseguridad, he visto la evolución de las amenazas, desde virus hasta sofisticados ataques. Esto requiere equipos capaces de reaccionar rápidamente. Mis estrategias incluyen: Capacitación Continua: Programas regulares sobre amenazas, simulaciones de phishing y entrenamientos en incidentes. Cultura de Ciberseguridad: Fomento de buenas prácticas y protección activa de datos. Tecnología Avanzada: Uso de herramientas predictivas para mitigar riesgos. Simulacros de Incidentes: Ejercicios que mejoran habilidades y preparación. Colaboración Externa y Monitoreo 24/7. La ciberseguridad es un esfuerzo colectivo. Un equipo informado y una cultura organizacional sólida son tan importantes como las herramientas más avanzadas
