What are you but the sum of your critical data and personal information? Okay, we’re exaggerating a bit here, but the point is that protecting yourself from phishing attacks ensures the well-being of your business operations and of your people. Unfortunately, you’re up against some persistent attackers; the Anti-Phishing Working Group found that over 87,000 unique phishing campaigns are launched every month. What’s the damage? The FBI estimates that business email compromise (BEC) scams alone have caused $5.3 billion in losses to businesses worldwide over three years. That’s a lot of zeroes.
That doesn't mean anti-phishing programs are futile: Susceptibility to phishing is a solvable problem, and it starts with your employees. By building a phishing awareness training program and equipping your users to detect Indicators of Phishing (more on those later) from the start, you reduce their likeliness to divulge critical information.
