How to Respond Phishing Attacks

Understanding the Problem

It’s natural for all organisations to experience phishing attacks and indeed, it is a matter of time. On average, it takes organisation about 197 days to identify and 69 days to contain a breach.

These are critical incidents that organisations have to respond to rapidly, before significant damage occurs.
