Phishing is so prevalent these days that we include training to all of our clients. The more they are trained in what to spot - the less time we have to spend cleaning up mistakes. It's a win-win for all of us.

We have seen some very well written phising attacks which is why our aim is to train the employees we work with to spot these.

Phishing attacks are now something that we must deal with everyday. Client awareness is a key factor but there are also many things that we can do as IT to help prevent this. We're always looking for the best ways to help combat but not block legitimate messages and confuse users.

Its a geat article, it still bother me about phising attacks.  No matter how much you advise - users get caught up in their day to day and the Phishers take adavange of that.

We train our clients as well as using an email service  called SENDIO that helps to weed out SPAM, emails with viruses and phishing emails.

Very Interesting!!!

I know it more work for you guys, but Monthly Reports would be awesome.  We use these as sales tools 🙂

It is a little concerning that 29% of responders believe that their users aren't adequately trained; it is probably the most cost effective prevention!
