Phishing attacks are on the rise, and cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated in their methods to steal sensitive data. Keepnet offers a phishing defense platform that provides a holistic approach to safeguard people, processes, and technology. By reducing breaches and preventing data loss, Keepnet helps your organization stay secure.
Implementing a comprehensive cybersecurity awareness training solution is crucial to mitigate the following risks:
In 2024, the International Monetary Fund reported that the risk of extreme losses from cyber incidents has increased, with potential losses reaching up to $2.5 billion per event, posing significant threats to financial stability.
A 2024 study by Splunk Inc. and Oxford Economics revealed that cyber outages cost businesses worldwide approximately $400 billion annually, with 56% of these outages attributed to security incidents like phishing attacks.
In February 2024, Change Healthcare, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group, suffered a cyberattack that disrupted services and led to widespread criticism, significantly tarnishing the company's reputation.
These examples underscore the critical importance of robust cybersecurity awareness training to protect organizations from financial losses, operational disruptions, and reputational harm.
The Real Impact of Phishing Attacks
Recent studies reveal the alarming consequences of phishing:

- On average, it takes 146 days to identify a breach.
- 82 days is the average time to contain a breach.
- The global average cost of a data breach is $4 million.
