Training end-users to spot phishing has its benefits, but it's clear to see organizations as a whole have failed to make a dent in phishing attacks.
Ever wondered how many of your end-users may have already fallen victim to phishing attacks?
Fairfax County Public Schools recently made the news by carrying out a phishing exercise to help users understand the dangers of phishing.
The fact people fell for it proved how effective phishing attacks can be and suggested that some more end-user SAT was needed.
Organizations need end-users to get it right every time - attackers just need one phishing email to work.
Even strong passwords can become compromised by phishing attacks, especially if end-users are reusing them across personal applications and devices.
