Why phishing week 2022?
Phones, email and text messaging are instrumental in facilitating corporate interactions, organizational productivity, social progress, and economic gains. And all of the aforementioned channels are also vulnerable to cyber attacks that can thwart efforts to achieve macro-level objectives.
Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, 81% of organizations have experienced an uptick in phishing threats. The pandemic isn’t over and neither are the phishing campaigns. Spear phishing emails -targeted phishing attacks- are used by more than 60% of known threat actors, leaving individuals at high-risk of accidentally catalyzing a breach.
In 2020, 97% of individuals were unable to recognize a sophisticated phishing email, and 95% of network security attacks occurred in conjunction with successful spear phishing threats. Many individuals who state that they are familiar with phishing-related best practices fall prey to scams anyway. We can do better.
