Secure your organization with Aware’s Security Awareness Training and Phishing Solutions.
Email Phishing
Internet pirates have switched to a sophisticated new way to steal digital data — manipulation of human psychology. This attempt to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data using social engineering is known as phishing. On the one hand, the world is fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, while on the other, enterprises worldwide are locking horns with destructive phishing attacks.
According to a 2020 Quarter 1 report by Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), COVID-19 has worsened the situation as cybercriminals are using the panic to launch Business E-mail Compromise (BEC) attacks, a type of phishing. In such uncertain times, the best way to fight phishing attacks is to strengthen the weakest link in the security chain, your staff, by providing the right security awareness training.
Security Intelligence Aware solutions offer you a complete security package against phishing, with convincing phishing simulations and security awareness training for your unguarded employees.
What is Phishing?
Phishing is a type of social engineering attack that targets victims via emails or text messages. Unlike other social engineering tactics like vishing and SMiShing, the criminal in a phishing attack poses as a legitimate institution to lure people into giving their sensitive data such as banking and credit card details, passwords, and more. This is a type of cyber threat which is prevalent and dangerous. Besides being relatively inexpensive, attackers use phishing more often because it is also very easy to execute.
