Restricted Intelligence - Series & Episodes
Welcome to the complete “Restricted Intelligence” Employee Awareness Campaign kit.
By using the resources in this kit, you will be able to capture your employees’ attention and deliver effective messaging to the company to inspire everyone to take responsibility for protecting your precious data. All without the assistance of bribes, intimidation, or the humiliation of pleading.
Watch in disbelief as our well-intentioned but clueless team staggers from one data debacle to another, pausing only to leave the doors unlocked on the way out and enjoy a little phishing. Wait, did we say “enjoy”? We meant “freak out about.” When you’ve got a team like this, who needs hackers? Okay, yes, the hackers need them.
