It really depends on their role. I would rather focus on certifications that help them.

Curious how people are dealing with fraud, and specifically tech support scams, in their organisation. Our service desk have a protocol (using personal questions and answers or escalation to a manager) when validating staff requesting password resets. This wouldn't be scalable to our wider population.  I've heard of one tech firm implementing something simple like 2 random words generated on an internally hosted website every, say, 60s that can be used as a challenge & response. Does anyone have any other smart, easy to use, bits of tech that I should consider as part of a wider on-going education and awareness campaign?  I'm assuming this is a hot topic for many of you, given the recent Quick Assist social engineering ransomware attacks.
