Reporting Incidents

If you encounter a potential cyber security threat (e.g., phishing, malware, etc.), follow these instructions on how to report a cybersecurity incident.

Training

All SCRED staff complete short training modules (including video(s) and a brief quiz) using Infosec IQ. Staff are "tested" by receiving several phishing simulation emails every month. If you suspect an email to be a phishing attack, report it using the procedure described above.

• Staff who have not fallen victim to the phishing simulation emails only complete training videos every other month.
• Staff who have fallen victim to the phishing simulation emails complete monthly training videos.

This training helps us to prevent cybersecurity incidents and, consequently, this prevention measure helps us to minimize insurance costs.
