To protect against phishing, toxicologists and their institutions can take several proactive measures:
Education and Training: Regularly train staff on how to recognize and respond to phishing attempts. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Implement MFA to add an extra layer of security to accounts. Regular Software Updates: Ensure all systems and software are up-to-date to protect against vulnerabilities. Secure Communication Channels: Use encrypted communication channels for sharing sensitive information. Incident Response Plan: Develop and maintain a robust incident response plan to quickly address any phishing attacks.
