No matter how carefully we maintain vigilance over the malware that populates cyberspace, the scammers have become ever-more sophisticated, to the point where their bogus pages look almost identical to the legitimate sites they pretend to be. How often do you encounter phishing in your day-to-day activities? How many of your employees succumb to the temptation to click on what turn out to be destructive hyperlinks? How well do you keep your security software up to date — and how effectively does it protect you? How do you train your people to recognize and avoid scams? How well are your guidelines followed? How carefully do you monitor compliance?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Engineering Management, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Engineering Management today.
