Phishing Attacks
Why This Training Matters:
Phishing attacks remain one of the most common and dangerous cyber threats today. Since the shift to remote and hybrid work environments, cybercriminals have taken advantage of increased online activity to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information.
According to Proofpoint’s 2024 State of the Phish report, 84% of organizations experienced at least one successful phishing attack in 2023, highlighting a clear rise in phishing-related threats.
These attacks come in many forms, including:
Email phishing – fake emails pretending to be from trusted sources
Vishing – voice calls used to scam people
Smishing – fraudulent text messages
Social media phishing – fake messages on platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn
Attackers often impersonate trusted individuals or companies to steal login credentials, money, or confidential data.
This training will help you recognize phishing attempts and protect yourself and your workplace. You’ll learn about different types of phishing and get tools to help you stay safe and confident in the digital world.
