Phishing attacks are designed in a sophisticated manner to bypass all technology controls such as firewall, email gateway and IPS etc. Once a phishing email lands into the mailbox, it all boils down to the behavior of end-users and their ability to identify a phishing email.

Phishing emails may contain malicious attachments or links that, when clicked, download and install malware on the victim's device. This malware can then be used to steal additional information, gain unauthorized access to systems, or launch further attacks.
Protect your organization from losses due to phishing
Implement monitoring systems that detect and alert on potential phishing attempts or indicators of compromise. Stay informed about the latest phishing techniques and trends through threat intelligence sources.
Implement strong spam filters, email authentication protocols (such as DMARC, DKIM, and SPF), and anti-phishing software to detect and block phishing emails before they reach employees' inboxes.
Enable MFA for all accounts and systems within the organization. This adds an extra layer of security, making it harder for attackers to gain unauthorized access even if they obtain login credentials through phishing.
Keep all software, applications, and operating systems up to date with the latest security patches. This helps protect against known vulnerabilities that attackers may exploit in phishing attacks.
Implement web filtering solutions that block access to known malicious websites and scan downloaded files for malware. This can prevent employees from inadvertently visiting phishing sites or downloading malicious content.
Establish clear incident response procedures to handle suspected phishing incidents. Encourage employees to report suspicious emails or incidents promptly, and have a process in place to investigate and mitigate potential threats.
Enforce strong password policies, including complex passwords and regular password changes. Encourage employees to use password managers and avoid reusing passwords across different accounts.
Conduct simulated phishing campaigns within the organization to assess employee awareness and response. This helps identify areas that require additional training and reinforces a culture of vigilance.
Choose vendors and service providers that prioritize security, have robust anti-phishing measures in place, and regularly update their security practices.
