With social attacks continuing to be the most prevalent method of compromise today, financially motivated global adversaries are now deploying ever more sophisticated phishing attacks in an attempt to gain a foothold in your corporate network and ultimately gain access to business-critical data.
A phishing assessment involves the deliberate dissemination of malicious emails to members of an organisation's staff.
The primary objective is to test and evaluate the susceptibility of staff members to phishing attacks, where attempts are made to coerce them into following provided links, opening file attachments, or divulging access to sensitive information or systems.
This proactive exercise serves to identify potential vulnerabilities in an organisation's security awareness and measures, allowing for targeted training and reinforcement of cybersecurity protocols.
