Fighting phishing
In brief
Understanding the problem, developing solutions
Issues
There is no denying that phishing is causing havoc. It is a societal problem that affects everyone, both in their private and professional lives. Phishing attacks and spoofed emails pose a major threat to businesses, including as a means of delivering ransomware. Even when most of these protective measures are in place, they are still not sufficient.
