‘Tis the season to be jolly — if you’re keeping cyber safe. Don’t let a grinch steal your organization’s data and money, or your employee’s personally identifiable information (PII).
“The bad guys can take advantage of holiday distractions and use social engineering tactics to trick your users into becoming the next victim,” says Stu Sjouwerman, founder and CEO at KnowBe4.
“Phishing emails about shipping notifications and e-cards have already flooded inboxes and can be easily missed,” adds Sjouwerman. “Users are even more likely to click on these types of emails, especially from home.”
That’s why this holiday season KnowBe4 has a brand new free resource kit available for you and your end users! They also have some other fun holiday festivities.

Holiday Scams To Skip – Watch The Video
Gift card fraud, charity scams, credit card suspicious activity? All of these can lead to a very un-happy holiday season. Stay safe, and look out for the tactics the bad guys are using to take advantage of unwary shoppers. Javvad Malik and Erich Kron share seven tips to avoid holiday scams and social engineering tricks during the holidays:
Will You Get Spoofed During The Holidays?
Are you aware that one of the first things hackers try is to see if they can spoof the email address of someone in your own domain? Now they can launch a “CEO fraud” spear phishing attack on your organization, and that type of attack is very hard to defend against, unless your users are highly “security awareness” trained.
KnowBe4 can help you find out if this is the case with our free Domain Spoof Test. Plus, if you’re in the U.S. or Canada, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a $500 Amazon Gift Card (just in time for the holidays). Enter to win now!
