An unknown USB drive or unexpected file can put workplace systems and information at risk. Employees learn to pause before connecting or opening unfamiliar media, follow approved procedures, and report suspicious items to the right IT contact. A microLab lets them practice that response sequence in a realistic situation.

Participants in this course will learn the following:

• Recognize the risks of unknown USB drives. Always treat unfamiliar devices as untrusted.
• Follow proper reporting channels for suspicious media. Ensure you know how to report effectively.
• Implement practical steps to safeguard your organization. Use best practices to protect sensitive information.
• Pause and verify before interacting with unknown files. Take a moment to assess potential threats.
• Understand the potential for malware spread and server infections. Acknowledge that a single infected device can disrupt operations across the entire organization.
