Three habits to remember

Read these, then answer 10 short workplace scenarios.

  1. Caller ID and personal details are not reliable proof of identity.

  2. End an unexpected call and use a known contact route to check the claim.

  3. Do not give an unexpected caller remote access, passwords or one-time codes.
