Email Phishing
Since the early days of the internet, email phishing has been a constant cyberattack method where attackers impersonate trusted entities or individuals in email communications to deceive people into revealing sensitive information. Phishing campaigns often involve fraudulent emails designed to appear legitimate, tricking recipients into clicking malicious links, downloading malware, or sharing personal or financial details.
The Importance of Email Phishing Security
Email phishing is a prevalent form of cyber attack where attackers send fraudulent emails to trick individuals into divulging sensitive information or performing actions that compromise security. As these attacks become more sophisticated, it is crucial to prepare your employees to recognize and respond appropriately to phishing emails. Ensuring the security of your email communications is vital to protecting your organization from potential breaches.
