From the board to the frontline…


Evoke behaviour change

Cannot be done in isolation

End user / employee awareness is not the panacea…. Board level responsibility

There needs to be technical solutions as the most educated will still ‘click the link’ or ‘open the attachment’…

Top to bottom review of processes is key

Role of PROTECT is to raise awareness to those identified as being most vulnerable to exploitation.
