company’s private information suddenly became public—and you weren’t the

one who shared it?

In today’s episode of the Learn Online Security Podcast, Chris Howells,

Director of IT and Head Instructor, explains how to take back control of

your message when communication slips out of your hands.

When unexpected events hit—like public announcements, travel plans, or

emergencies—information can spread fast. Chris shows you how to stay

ahead by creating clear communication policies, educating your team,

and reducing opportunities for attackers to exploit confusion or chaos.

You’ll discover how to:

✅ Build a communication plan that keeps your organization secure and

professional

✅ Prevent social engineering attacks by controlling information flow

✅ Empower your staff and community to respond with consistency and

confidence

✅ Develop “away policies” that protect both privacy and productivity

✅ Strengthen your company’s defense through proactive messaging and

teamwork

This video delivers practical cybersecurity strategy mixed with

real-world communication planning. It's perfect for IT leaders,

business owners, and security-conscious teams.

discussions, and tools to help you secure your organization’s

communications from the inside out.
