CISO Guide to Phishing

Successful phishing attacks have increased by 34% in the last year, making phishing the most common email threat organizations face.

Secure email gateways can stop simple phishing attacks that contain obviously malicious links or attachments, but more sophisticated phishing messages often sail through. And if a threat actor successfully steals credentials, they can use them to compromise accounts and launch more advanced attacks.

This can lead to payment fraud, data breaches, and ransomware attacks—all of which can have costly consequences.
