Insight Tips

In the vast sea of emails and messages that come your way, some cleverly laid traps come floating by. They may seem harmless, but in reality, they are bait meant to trick you.

Phishing attacks have evolved, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to spot them. Awareness is the only way to survive.

Reach out to talk to our security experts and learn how you can help your team stay a step ahead of cybercriminals.

If it feels off, listen to your gut. That “urgent” email or password request from “IT” could be a trap.

Phishing attempts target humans because untrained or distracted employees can make a mistake.

Want to learn how to avoid the trap? Send us a message, and our security experts will teach you how to spot these threats.

Phishing emails play on your curiosity.

One wrong click is all that hackers need to launch a cyberattack on your business.

The only way you can beat them is by being aware and prepared.

Hackers target your employees because they know humans make mistakes, especially when they’re distracted and rushed.

With the right training, you can help your team learn to slow down and recognize phishing and social engineering attacks. Schedule a call with our experts today to get started.

Cybercriminals don’t need complex codes to break into your business. They just need one distracted employee to click on a malicious link.

Your employees are juggling more devices and responsibilities than ever before, creating the perfect opportunity for cybercriminals to take advantage.

Reach out to us to schedule a training session to help your team members spot the red flags.

Your CEO just emailed you asking for gift cards!

If this feels off, your intuition is right. It’s a scam.

The only way to fight phishing and social engineering attacks is through awareness.

“This is your last chance!”

“Your account will be suspended in 24 hours.”

“Pay now to avoid legal action.”

Phishing attacks rely on threats like these to create panic and fear. Train your team to spot and report a scam.

Hackers don’t announce themselves. They slide into your inbox, posing as your bank, your boss, or a vendor you work with.

Phishing and social engineering attacks are designed to look harmless.

Schedule a consultation today, and our experts will give you the lowdown on modern phishing scams.

One careless click is all it takes to damage your business.

And for months after, you’ll be forced to work on incident response, system restoration, and repair.

That’s why a proactive approach to security awareness is the best course of action. Contact us to help your team recognize and resist social engineering attacks.

If your instinct tells you that an offer is too good to be true, it probably is.

Hackers are targeting your employees. One mistake by an untrained employee can lead to serious financial and reputational damage. That’s why awareness should be your first line of defense.

Here are some common tactics used by attackers:

URL Spoofing: Hackers overlay the image of an authentic website with a malicious link, tricking you into revealing sensitive information.
Link Manipulation: Links that appear legitimate but direct you to malicious websites, launch malware, or steal data.
Link Shortening: Convenient for us, but a tool for cybercriminals to inject malware or steal data.
AI Voice Spoofing: Cybercriminals use AI to imitate voices, tricking you into believing you’re talking to someone you trust.
