Protect your organization with anti-phishing solutions
As more users fall prey to a phishing or spear-phishing mail attack, anti-phishing software has become a critical piece of technology for organizations everywhere.
In a phishing attack, users receive an email that seems to come from a legitimate source or a trusted sender. The copy asks the user to reveal login credentials like usernames and passwords, or sensitive information like bank account numbers, credit card information and Social Security numbers.
What is spear phishing? Spear phishing attacks take this hacking technique to a whole new level, targeting specific individuals with information gathered from social networking sites that allows the hacker to appear to be a colleague or superior. CEO fraud phishing uses email that appears to come from the CEO or another C-suite executive.
Because phishing attacks exploit user behavior, most programs for anti-phishing protection involve training for users on how to spot phishing attempts. But with more than 90% of successful hacking attacks beginning with a phishing email, organizations need to offer employees more than phishing tips if they want to avoid a security breach.
