Phishing is a type of cyber-attack that relies on email. The attacker devises a message that convinces the recipient to download an attachment, click a link, go to a web page, or fill out a form. In an attempt to gain trust, the sender’s email address may indicate someone known to the recipient such as a colleague at work. Or the sender’s email address might indicate a government agency, or a reputable company the person has done business with.
Your employees are your company’s greatest asset and must be protected regardless of location, time zones, and shifts. Protecting your employees in an emergency is also essential for business continuity.
