SB155 Does not download content or material from unauthorised websites

Certain unauthorised websites can increase up the risk of a malware infection or cyber attack. These websites often contain fraudulent links designed to decieve website visitors into giving away sensitive information, or downloading malware onto their device or network.


Why is it important?

Not downloading content avoids risk of malware infection as you are not actioning potentially malicious files or links clicked on a work or personal device.
