Description
- Abstract:
- The human factor is a crucial element for cybersecurity. One of the ways the cyber attackers are successfully exploiting our systems is by manipulating innocent human minds through phishing emails. Phishing has been one of the most widely used and most effective techniques for several years to steal confidential information. Organizations and individuals suffer devastating financial and reputational losses due to data breaches caused by phishing attacks. The likelihood of using this technique increases when a nation goes through a pandemic like we are currently facing. Human minds fall for this attack when they are rushed, concerned, or frail. The good news is that increasing awareness minimizes or prevents this risk. Human mind can be trained to recognize phishing emails. The objective of this Phishing Awareness Training is to train human minds to be able to dodge the traps set out by the cyber attackers. Together, we can make our country cyber safe!
