What are the most common workplace security threats?

Phishing emails (look legitimate but steal credentials), weak passwords, unpatched software, public WiFi use, oversharing in chat, USB devices, and social engineering calls.

How do you recognize a phishing email?

Check sender address (not just display name), look for spelling errors, verify unusual requests with the sender directly, never click suspicious links, and hover over links to see true URL.

What data classification framework should employees understand?

Public (shareable with anyone), Internal (team only), Confidential (restricted access), and Restricted (highly sensitive). Adjust handling and sharing based on classification.

What should you do if you suspect a security breach?

Report to IT immediately without delay, change passwords, enable two-factor authentication, monitor accounts for fraud, and cooperate with company investigation.
