Phishing Training for Employees

Phishing is one of the most successful ways cybercriminals access companies’ passwords and other security credentials. A cybercriminal impersonates a legitimate person or entity and sends a fake email to manipulate employees. Companies need to train their employees not to click on links or attachments in suspicious emails.

Is phishing your employee a necessity? The answer is yes.  Because phishing is one of the most successful ways cybercriminals access companies’ passwords and other security credentials. A cybercriminal impersonates a legitimate person or entity and sends a fake email to manipulate employees into opening a malware-containing attachment or clicking on a link to a malicious website to seize passwords. Therefore, companies that want to block phishing attacks need to train their employees not to click on links or open attachments in suspicious emails. However, due to various reasons, employees keep clicking on the links or attachments that are meant to be opened. For many employees, their job consists almost entirely of opening attachments from strangers, etc. Thus, along with cyber awareness training,  companies need to deal with phishing problems through phishing simulators, which involve sending fake emails to their employees to exhibit the characteristics of phishing emails and show them real-life attack scenarios and their consequences.

The business has the option to keep track of which employees download attachments, click links in emails, or give credentials to fictitious websites using simulation logic. This makes it possible to view the company’s entire security position.

SANS found that successful spear phishing accounts for 95% of all attacks on enterprise networks. Companies must take all necessary precautions to combat this growing threat because phishing is getting more and more popular among cybercriminals and can have catastrophic effects.
