A Commanding Team for Addressing All Spear phishing Attacks with Proficiency
Phishing is a regular online activity where fraudsters send you fake email links or attachments. Once you click on this link or open the attachment all confidential information regarding your passwords and usernames are downloaded onto the cheaters’ database. Most of you may not consider this as a grave concern but with the sophisticated phishing methods and tools unwanted people can access your financial information such as credit card details, bank account numbers etc. As a result they can easily hack your accounts, rob you and leave you in a dire condition.
Phishing attacks have become more intense with the attackers targeting the bank customers and those associated with financial institutions and recently with the members of social networking sites. This is called enterprise spear phishing. They send you emails that seem as if they have been sent by your legitimate banks and financial institutions requesting for your personal details. It is easy to get cheated as the fake website resembles the original one and before you realize your mistake you have already shared your confidential information with strangers. In phishing the mode of operation is to target the people rather than technology as they are aware that there are robust security solutions to protect technology.
In a majority of the cases enterprise spear phishing achieves success as the people in the business are not aware how phishing works and what are the repercussions. Your organization may also have employees who are not adequately trained to recognize and handle such phishing attacks, and this can lead to unimaginable damages. It is better and economical to set up a plan that trains your employees prior to any phishing attacks in reality rather than investing heavily on employing remediation measures after the attack.
You require strong anti-phishing solutions to minimize the phishing fall rate and fail rate. The phishing fall rate is the percentage of users that falls for the phishing attacks and visits the fake websites. The phishing fail rate is the percentage that fails to identify the attack, visits the fake websites and reveals sensitive information. The people who work in your organization need to be trained and updated regularly so that the fall rate and fail rate can be reduced and the threats to your organizations be effectively lowered.
The anti-phishing solutions launch a mock phishing attack on your employees and study their responses. These solutions provide training to your employees on how to identify the attacks and deal with them appropriately. The responses of your employees are tracked and an action plan is created to educate them on how to avoid being victims of phishing attacks. The anti-phishing solutions make your employees more responsible and accountable by sharing practical tips on protection against phishing.
