Phishing is a form of internet fraud that uses email. The name is derived from the way perpetrators ‘fish’ for potential victims. About 90 per cent of cyberattacks are entering your company via your email. Phishing emails are responsible for the lion’s share of these attacks. If you’re one of these potential victims, you’ll receive an email that appears to come from a trusted sender and cannot be distinguished from a genuine email. Open the link in the email and you’ll be redirected to a false website. Afterwards, you’ll receive malware or unsuspectingly enter your bank details, opening the door to abuse.
With endpoint security protection, you first open any suspicious URLs in your emails in a phishing test platform in the cloud, where there’s no access to your data.
