Enhance your security posture through our phishing simulation services and security awareness training. Our interactive phishing simulation services are carefully crafted to assess user behavior and test awareness, aligning with your security protocols and regulatory compliance audit requirements.
End users are often considered the weakest link in any security setup, and Information Security is no exception. While the IT department may boast a well-designed and extremely efficient security system, an end user lacking awareness can still create a security breach.
People are independent thinkers and actors, always exploring new ways. Sometimes, these activities can create opportunities for those with malicious intentions. Despite multiple awareness training sessions, humans tend to make and repeat mistakes. Even today, with technological advancements, emails remain a common avenue for hackers to breach corporate networks. Running continuous awareness programs is the only option to keep such threats at bay.
Net Access assists its enterprise customers in running cyber security awareness campaigns and simulating email phishing attacks on their networks to gauge the effectiveness of these campaigns. We offer a unique and cost-effective program that repeats the campaign, ensuring users are continually tested and trained, thus improving the security ecosystem continuously.
Phishing is a sort of social engineering attack used frequently for obtaining user information, including login credentials and payment card information. It happens when a victim opens an email, instant message, or text message after being tricked into doing so by an attacker posing as a reliable source. The recipient is subsequently misled into clicking a dangerous link, which can result in the installation of malware, the freezing of the system as part of a ransomware assault, or the disclosure of private data.
Phishing email statistics suggest that nearly 1.2% of all emails sent are malicious, which in numbers translated to 3.4 billion phishing emails daily. Extortion of over 35 million records is expected to occur by 2025 with a ransomware or phishing attack occurring every 11 seconds.
Enterprises should educate and train their employees to be wary of any communication that requests personal or financial information. They should also instruct employees to report the threat to the company’s security operations team immediately.
Demand, interactive posters related to phishing attacks, how to spot phishing emails, and what to do and not do after receiving phishing emails will be distributed for a couple of days before initiating Phishing simulation campaign.
