Your business is literally assaulted by thousands of threats a day, and they could ruin your organization's goals in an instant if not for your defenses. With such powerful security measures at your disposal, we don’t blame you for lowering your defenses; however, it should be mentioned that your network security doesn’t protect you from all manners of threats. Attacks like phishing scams have a tendency to bypass your security measures, which makes them dangerous.
Hackers utilizing phishing attacks are attempting to trick your employees into handing over sensitive information through personalized attacks. These attempts usually involve the victims clicking on links which lead to websites or email attachments which are infected with malware. Hackers disguise their identities as those of legitimate organizations, then perform targeted spear phishing attacks using social engineering tactics. This means it’s more important than ever before to ensure that your team knows how to deal with these attacks, instead of giving in to them. Here are four ways you can identify common phishing attempts.
Of course, the best way to keep phishing attacks at bay is by eliminating them before they even reach your inbox.
