Is your organization capable of defending against today’s phishing attacks? Social Engineering requires very little to no knowledge of information technology or cutting-edge applications. All an attacker needs is a target and a crafty email to prey on weaknesses in human behavior.
Don’t Take the Bait!
Tips to Help Defend Against a Phishing Attack
- Be suspicious of emails asking you to “verify” your account.
- Manually type a URL into a web browser rather than clicking on a hyperlink in an email.
- Make sure that HTTPS is displaying in the address bar. The S confirms that the site is leveraging a legitimate, secured channel.
- Never give out your credentials or sensitive information, either by phone or by email requests.
- Avoid completing online forms that ask for personal information.
- Be leery of domain names with misspelled words.
- Be suspicious and report any circumstance that appears out of the ordinary.
- Ensure proper credentials of those requesting access to company material.
