Episode #2:

Protection against Phishing!

In this episode we basically teach them how not to take the bait, how not to trust any suspicious e-mail, at all levels, from the most basic e-mails that go directly to the Spam folder, to e-mails impersonating the identity of real persons.

From the data protection perspective, phishing may represent a security breach, and the DPO has the primary responsibility for preventing and solving it. The DPO is a recently introduced figure in the Spanish laws, and all employees should be aware of its existence in order to know who they shall report to. Employees should also be aware of the sanctions and reputational damage companies may incur if this kind of incidents are poorly managed.

Episode #3:

Protection against Social Engineering!

This episode shows that hacking has a lot more to do with psychology than with technology.

Do you know when was the first “hacking”? How about the Trojan Horse? And another not so old, but still prior to the Internet age? Remember Frank Abagale Jr., played by Leonardo di Caprio in “Catch me if you can”? That highly gifted young man is a perfect example of the hacker’s psychology, showing how hackers are always a step ahead of the authorities. Always, or almost always...

Social engineering uses data to “do evil”, and we need to know how to appropriately process data to avoid incurring in non-compliance. Additionally, we explain the data controller and processor rights that anyone working with personal data shall know and also the data subject rights, in order to ensure these can be adequately exercised.

Episode #4:

Protecting Hardware!

What is the connection between Carbanak, the greatest cyber-band in history, and the Protection of computers, tablets and mobile phones? This episode explains how to avoid your hardware being tampered with; to this end we present the testimonial from hackers who have, obviously, remained anonymous. Or are they fictional?

Hardware and devices transmit, store and send information and personal data that should be protected by the application of the security measures detailed in the European Data Protection Regulation. In this episode, employees learn about the procedure to be followed for the application of those measures.

Episode #5:

Protecting Software!

In this episode we use Greek mythology to identify which is, like the heel for Achilles, the weakest point in the on-line world, where and why employees are more vulnerable. And how they should protect themselves.

Software contains, transmit and store data. If those data are accessed or deleted or if there is any other incident relating to computer systems, companies are required to give notice thereof to the Spanish Data Protection Agency. Accordingly, all employees of data processing companies should know the procedure to be followed in these cases.

Episode #6:

Protecting Communications, Social Media and Mobile Devices!

Picture yourself about to board a plane, you may want to take a last look at the proposal you will present in China. To do that, you connect to the usual public Internet service. If the wi-fi network you have connected to is not a secure network, your wonderful and, most of all, extremely confidential presentation may end up in the hands of your competitors. That would not be good, would it?

This episode goes further into how to avoid putting companies’ data at risk, how to protect communications, social media and mobile devices...
