Phishing and Social Engineering

Phishing and Social Engineering Defense Services

Human error is one of your system’s biggest threats. Through training and awareness you can stop phishing attacks before they cause major issues. Phishing Simulations and mock attacks, from A-kar, allow employees to learn more about cues they might have missed from incoming emails or messages, how to report attacks, how to tell if a communication is legitimate, and how to adapt their response moving forward.

What is Phishing and Social Engineering?

Phishing attacks rely on human error and involve the use of look-alike emails, text messages, or voice messages to trick a user into acting on a seemingly legitimate request. These attacks are designed to steal credentials, banking, or other sensitive information or to install malware or ransomware disguised as legitimate software.

Phishing simulations are one of your best defenses against cyber attackers. Through repeated mock attacks and instantaneous feedback, users are given the chance to become more alert to these types of threats within a safe environment. Reporting helps leadership gauge organizational risk and understand where to focus additional training.

Training and awareness are crucial to stopping phishing attacks because they allow employees to learn more about cues they might have missed, how to report attacks, how to tell if a communication is legitimate, and how to adapt their response moving forward. Because phishing attacks are increasingly sophisticated, it is more important than ever to ensure that your employees are resilient. With proper training, they can learn to resist the instinctive urge to click and to recognize and report all suspicious activity.
