Run regular phishing tests
It is essential to periodically test your employees to assess their vulnerability to Phishing attack that employs deceitful techniques to try and obtain sensitive information from users or cause them to download malicious software.
Reset access controls regularly

This can include something they know (like a password), something they have (like a security token) or something they are (like a fingerprint).
