Abstract

The age of computer advancement has caused a revolutionary change in the corporate sector. From on-campus working hours to remote work from home scenarios, from meetings in a conference room to meeting online in a virtual environment, things are changing continuously in the corporate environment. This paper tries to educate and generate awareness about cyber security in the non-technical human resource and try to make them understand the potential risks to their organization which can be caused because of not giving much attention to smaller details. This paper concentrates on those attacks which can be mitigated by any non-technical employee and which are easy to understand and give preventive measures for the same.
