There’s some worrying statistics in this report:
84% of organisations in a recent Proofpoint survey reporting that they had at least one successful email-based phishing attack against them last year
Attackers are spoofing trusted brands such as Microsoft, Amazon, DocuSign, Google and others that provide widely used enterprise tools. Over 30 million messages used Microsoft branding or featured a Microsoft product such as Office or OneDrive
Just 40% of users know what ransomware is
Just 58% of users know what phishing is, and even lower amounts of users can identity phishing emails
Just 70% of organisations say they conduct formal training, and less than 55% make their security awareness training available to every user
Users still struggle to spot phishing emails with 21% saying they don’t know that an email can appear to be from someone other than the sender
44% say they don’t know that a familiar brand doesn’t mean the email is safe
63% say they don’t know that an email link text might not match the website it goes to
