    A certain enterprise faced a breach when a sales rep’s compromised smartphone sent phishing emails to clients. Investigation revealed the lack of robust mobile security. In response, the company implemented an MDM solution enforcing encryption, MFA, VPNs, and automated updates. Employees underwent phishing awareness training, and a clear incident response plan was established. Months later, a new phishing attempt failed when a trained employee reported it, and the MDM quarantined the threat. This transformation restored client trust, improved employee vigilance, and prevented future breaches, turning a crisis into a cybersecurity success story.

    Trainings and security systems are important. However, they are not enough if we do not equip the team with the tools and competencies to carry out their professional activities efficiently. When we implement security restrictions, we need to make sure that at each workstation that is subjected to security restrictions, there are people with solutions and the ability to use them, who can perform all their tasks without obstruction. So that each of their tasks can be accomplished, in a different way, but effectively. If we implement restrictions without taking any interest in what tasks employees are performing, we can be 100% sure that sooner or later, under time pressure or stress, these employees will break the rules in place.

    I would demonstrate the consequence with a real-world example that the employee can relate to and usually people just need some guidance on simple mobile phone security protocols because they perhaps didn't know any better...
