Given the human element at the forefront of these sophisticated phishing attacks it’s becoming apparent that today’s mainstream phishing security solutions are simply too slow to be effective. Read our blog and check out the Aberdeen Report for details.
SlashNext Real-Time Phishing Threat Intelligence is the industry’s broadest, most up-to-the-minute intelligence on zero-hour phishing threats on the Web.
Looking back on 2018, there were some data breaches and phishing attack trends that should have security professionals gearing up for this year. The numbers point to increases in attacks and severity.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) does not protect against exploits and malware, scareware, social engineering scams, rogue software, or phishing callbacks. Meaning? It’s a best practice we recommend but it’s only part of a larger recipe for success.
ere are email-based and other non-email-based phishing attacks that people need to be aware of. Here we examine phishing, spear phishing, whaling, smishing, and vishing and the differences between them.
Osterman Research shared a number of ways that organizations and CISOs today can improve their cybersecurity in a recent SlashNext sponsored whitepaper and they are certainly worth sharing.
It was just about last year at this time that we blogged about scammers that were targeting global events, including the RSA Conference (2018). Flash forward to now and scammers are employing an almost identical approach to phishing for the RSA 2019 Conference.
Osterman Research found that 51 percent of survey respondents said that email-based spear phishing was a concern or major concern. One of the reasons these spear phishing attacks are so successful is simply human nature.
Human fallibility and the blind spots in network security are no match for most cybersecurity protection because of latency. Real-time phishing detection is the only true solution in today’s threat landscape.
There are a number of reasons why phishing and cyberattacks are so successful, and Osterman Research identified 8 of them in a recent whitepaper. We added a very important reason to this list in our blog post here.
