Cybersecurity Awareness Best Practices for 2025

1. Make Security Training Ongoing — Not One-and-Done

Cyber threats evolve constantly, and so should your team’s awareness.
Replace once-a-year training with short, frequent lessons throughout the year.
OSPC’s training platform delivers micro-learning videos that keep security habits fresh without interrupting productivity.

Business Impact: Continuous reinforcement keeps security top of mind — reducing the chance of costly mistakes.

2. Simulate Phishing Attacks Regularly

You can’t improve what you don’t measure.
Run phishing simulations to test real-world employee responses.
When someone clicks, treat it as a learning opportunity, not a failure — and provide quick, targeted retraining.

Business Impact: Turns mistakes into teachable moments, strengthening your human firewall.

3. Reinforce Password Hygiene

Weak or reused passwords are still the easiest way in for attackers.
Train employees to:

• Use unique passwords for every account

• Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible

• Store credentials safely in a password management tool like MyGlue, part of OSPC’s managed IT suite

Business Impact: Strong password policies stop credential-based attacks before they start.

4. Build a Culture of Reporting

Your employees are the front line — empower them to act.
Encourage your team to report suspicious emails or activity immediately.
Reward early reporting; it helps your IT team isolate threats faster and prevent spread.

Business Impact: Early detection = less downtime, lower remediation costs, and stronger overall security posture.

5. Keep Security Messages Simple and Relatable

Security training only works if it sticks.
Avoid technical jargon — instead, use real examples your staff understands: fake invoices, spoofed vendors, or unexpected password reset emails.
Simple, relatable training connects the dots between daily tasks and cyber risk.

Business Impact: Makes security personal — improving retention and compliance.
