Potential data breaches are increasingly problematic for organizations, and the most common way that data is stolen is through phishing attacks. Phishing attacks are currently one of the most pervasive threats on the Internet, and you need to understand them to thwart their effectiveness against your users. Let’s explore what exactly a phishing attack consists of and some best practices you can use to defend your network against them.
Phishing is an attack method in which scammers try tricking you into giving important information by pretending to be from a trustworthy source. It involves someone trying to obtain passwords through deception. Scammers pretend to be someone you can trust. This is usually done through deceptive emails, messages, or websites that appear to be from trusted sources, like banks or well-known companies. The goal is to “phish” for this information and use it for malicious purposes, such as identity theft or financial fraud.
Let’s look at a few ways to keep phishing attacks from breaking into your network.
To protect your business, you need to understand phishing and do what you can to prevent falling victim to it. You will want to create a comprehensive training regimen focusing on faux phishing attacks to bring awareness to employees who may not have a naturally security-minded approach.
