    After a data breach, it's natural for your team to feel anxious about job security. 🤯🔒 To reassure them and maintain trust, start by communicating transparently about the breach’s impact and the recovery steps being taken—no sugarcoating, just honest updates. 📢🔍 Provide support resources, such as counseling or financial advice, to help with any stress or uncertainty. 🧠💼 Most importantly, reinforce the value of each team member's role and clearly explain the measures in place to protect their jobs. 🔒
