Phishing Attack Protection

Insulate your business from malicious activity disguised as routine emails.

Get Started

Avoid Threats That Arrive in Your Inbox

Phishing is one of the most common forms of cyber attacks. Each and every day, billions of emails from bad actors are sent out. Some of them appear to be from legitimate companies or organizations. Some contain a harmless-looking attachment that, when clicked, opens the door for hackers.

Protecting your organization from phishing attempts takes a combination of education and security measures. Victims of attacks usually miss signs that an email that has landed in their inbox is fraudulent, and the types of scams being employed are always evolving.

While simply opening a phishing email is generally harmless, once the recipient follows instructions inside — such as logging into a service they use to check the activity on their account — the information they provide can easily be captured and exploited. 

Why Phishing Protection Matters

Many phishing emails are easy to spot. Spelling is incorrect or the sender address looks out of place. But the more sophisticated attacks have the potential to fool even the most vigilant, and once a phishing attempt is successful, it can have serious consequences.

Gone Phishing

 

Each day, some 347 billion emails are sent around the world. Every one of these messages has the potential to cause damage to a person or business.

That’s not hyperbole. According to some estimates, 3.4 billion of sent emails are from bad actors, most of them designed to mimic a trusted sender. And this activity, known as “phishing,” can have very real consequences.

Take, for example, the sophisticated attacks aimed at Facebook and Google between the years 2013 and 2015. The attacks, which involved a series of fake invoices disguised as coming from Taiwan-based company Quana, cost the two companies $100 million before the scam was discovered.

Keep in mind that the victims of these attacks were Facebook and Google, two of the biggest tech companies on the planet. If disguised emails can break through their security measures, what are small and mid-sized companies supposed to do to protect themselves?

The answer has two parts: good ol’ common sense and ever-evolving technical controls.
