Why not all your employees should be account administrators
https://phished.io/blog/why-not-all-your-employees-should-be-account-administrators
You’d think it’s easy: you provide all of your employees with administrator rights to their accounts and they will not disturb you every time they want to download a file or change a setting. But no convenience will ever make up for the dangers that lie with giving everyone full access to their account. Here’s why granting every employee admin rights is synonymous to cyberattacks and data leaks.

The ultimate guide to your internal anti-phishing campaign: from start to finish

Executing an anti-phishing campaign within your company is the first step in making your employees more alert to cyber threats, but how do you execute this campaign exactly?

The most dangerous hacker: your colleague
https://phished.io/blog/the-most-dangerous-hacker-your-colleague
Chinese or Russian hackers may be targeting your data, but they are far from the only or even the most important threat to your company's cyber security. Most organisations fall victim to considerably more mundane techniques such as social engineering via phishing, or even insider threads. In the latter case, the threat comes from within, but that doesn't necessarily mean that your business has to contend with a malicious mole. Nonchalance or ignorance are just as great risks. How do you arm your organisation and your employees against this?
