Phishing
A primary security concern, phishing is a term used to describe the practice of sending fraudulent emails that appear to come from a legitimate sender. Year over year growth is in the triple digits and attacks are becoming more sophisticated. Internet threat actors utilize phishing attacks to deceive end users into clicking a web link that either captures sensitive information, such as the user's password, or installs a malicious program on the user's computer. Once the malicious application is installed, the hacker can attack from inside the organization where there is little or no protection.
Growing Security Risk
Statistics show that approximately 1/3 of all users who receive little or no security awareness training fall victim to phishing and other social engineering attacks. Since a single compromised computer can lead to an organization-wide security breach, it is important to determine your company's vulnerability to social engineering. An InfoDefense brand, eSecurity Awareness offers simulated phishing and other social engineering attacks as a stand-alone service or as part of a turn-key comprehensive security awareness program.
Don't Wait for a Security Breach
There are several inexpensive things that can be done to mitigate social engineering risks. Many companies discover they are vulnerable to attacks once they have become a victim to ransomware or have had an enterprise-wide security breach. Test your employees before a security incident.
