Brokers, Use This Resource to Educate Your Agents and Staff on Digital Security Best Practices

February 01, 2018

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit digital rights group, has created a collection of resources you can use to educate others about online security threats. The Security Education Companion offers guides for the first-time security trainer, lessons on specific threats such as phishing and malware, and teaching materials for topics like password managers and two-factor authentication, among many other items.

If you’re looking to educate yourself about online threats to your business or you’ve been designated to train agents and staff on best practices, the Security Education Companion can make it easier for you to get up to speed on a range of related topics and provide resources to use in your training sessions.

The Security Education Companion is available at sec.eff.org.
