Description
About 85% of threats involve some sort of human interaction, and about 50% of organizations have experienced a successful phishing attack.
So, attacks are overwhelmingly focused on people.
In a recent Expert Insights episode of Protecting People, we spoke with Brett Shaw, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Proofpoint, about some of the latest trends in the threat landscape — and how to protect people from them.
What we talked about:
- Email is the easiest way to prey on vulnerabilities
- Reducing risk means developing a multi-layered approach to security
- A system is only as good as the data that feeds it, but…
- Human action can overset any system with just one click
Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast:
- The State of the Phish 2021
- The Verizon DBIR report [referenced at 3:28]
- Email Fraud and Security Awareness Kit [referenced at 4:57-5:46]
