New Strategies for Mitigating Phishing Risk

Most security professionals are working hard to defend their organizations from cyberattacks through a combination of training, policies, and technology. But, despite all that work, phishing attacks still account for 70-90% of all malicious data breaches.

Why? Because the threat actors conducting phishing campaigns spend considerable time and effort gathering detailed information and are constantly innovating on ways to leverage it against their intended targets. They must be creative and convincing in their communications strategies. They need to know all the personal details about the executives and employees they’re targeting. Details about the targets’ background, relationships, and family, their shopping habits and interests, their frequent business contacts and partners, all feed into the social engineering strategy.

To get through the human line of defense in an organization, the hacker’s most valuable resource is detailed personalized information.

In this webinar, Roger Grimes, Data-Driven Defense Evangelist at KnowBe4 , and Rob Shavell , CEO of DeleteMe, will discuss:

• Key areas of focus when it comes to preventing hacking


• How and where the data on end-user phishing targets are harvested so they can “personalize at scale”


• Real-world examples of successful attacks and how they were executed
  


• Strategies and programs to help stop end-users from being susceptible to these highly personalized social engineering threats
