So how can organizations overcome the sudden increase in security threats and regain the upper hand against bad actors with fewer resources than ever before? Increasingly, it looks like zero-trust will become the ideal approach for doing more with less, because ultimately, it's the users and their cyber-hygiene that's the first line in phishing defense.

As anyone, no matter how technically savvy, is at risk of falling victim to phishing attacks, it's vital that organizations rethink their approach to security as a whole to combat these threats.

Your company's security lies first and foremost in the cyber-hygiene of employees - and that's why the user experience should be a core focus of any security strategy.

Automate routine security updates - thus eliminating the risk of employees delaying necessary security patches and other updates.

Through these tactics, organizations can streamline key security processes and continually secure all endpoints to minimize threat risk faster than ever before.

The Ivanti survey found that one third of those surveyed blame the increase on phishing attacks on a lack of employee understanding, and even fewer said 80-90 percent of their organizations had completed security trainings offered by their companies.
