Email Phishing Protection & Simulated Phishing Attack Testing

Nowadays, email phishing is one of the latest scams in the cyber world, in addition to all the other, ever-growing and ever-advancing hacking methods, and protecting your personal and workplace data is as crucial as protecting your bank account. Hackers, identity thieves, and malicious people and programs roam the Internet just searching for easy targets.

Technology alone cannot protect your personal or work information from being exploited or breached; in fact, no type of technology is safe! Most of the responsibility lies in the hands of the user and the network security techniques they choose to utilize. Due to the proliferation of social engineering tactics and security breaching methods, and because the Internet can easily introduce and spread malware without user knowledge, it is vital to learn the right and wrong ways to use technology and the Internet.

For some strange, illogical reason, security awareness training is often viewed as a luxury and not as a necessity. In reality, this critical training is, in fact, necessary, and does not just improve an employee’s skills, but proves to be a huge investment in the company by increasing security, efficiency, compliance, and profit.

The bottom line is: security awareness training can no longer be viewed as "optional" in the corporate world, or basically, in any situation. In competitive markets, security awareness training may very well be a matter of survival! When there are gaps in security awareness and alertness, and lack of essential knowledge, there becomes an immediate and dangerous risk to all of the organization’s confidential information, revenues, and data!

Here are some questions to ask to determine how vulnerable your network may be:

• How long ago was my last vulnerability test?
• How many changes and or upgrades has my network had since my last vulnerability test?
• Do the counter measures I have in place to prevent an intrusion actually work?
• What security layers should I implement next to best protect my company's assets?
• Do I know where confidential and sensitive data is located on my network enterprise wide?
• How do I know if my IT Security reports are accurate?
