How To Protect Your Company

Even though phishing attacks are geared towards random users they often target employees of a company. However attackers are not always after a company’s money but its data.

In terms of business, data is far more valuable than money and it can severely impact a company. Attackers can use leaked data to influence the public by impacting consumer trust and tarnishing the company name.

But that’s not the only consequences that can result from that. Other consequences include negative impact on investor trust, disrupt business, and incite regulatory fines under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Training your employees to deal with this problem is recommended to reduce successful phishing attacks.

Ways to train employees generally include showing them examples of phishing emails and identifying ways to spot them.

Another good way to show employees phishing is through simulation. Phishing simulations are basically fake attacks designed to help employees recognize phishing firsthand without any negative effects.
