What is phishing training?

How often do you receive an email that you know is a scam? Maybe it’s the misspelled words or irregular formatting that gives it away, or the attention-grabbing subject line that gives you pause. Chances are, as a cybersecurity or IT professional, you can spot a phishing email with no trouble at all. But can your employees?

As cybercrime of all kinds, and phishing, in particular, reaches new heights in 2023, it’s important for every person in your organization to be able to identify a phishing attack and play an active role in keeping the business and your customers safe.

Phishing attack awareness training is an education program that teaches people:

  • What phishing attacks are and how they work
  • How to spot phishing emails and other attack methods
  • Steps a person can take to avoid becoming a victim of a phishing attack
  • How to report a suspected phishing attack
