Phishing remains the leading cause of initial breach. A well-crafted phishing email can bypass technical controls if the recipient doesn't recognize the attack. Effective prevention combines technology and training.
Technical Controls That Block Phishing
Email threat protection scans attachments and links for malware. URL rewriting prevents users from clicking directly on malicious links. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC prevent spoofing of trusted domains. User impersonation protection warns when someone is mimicking a known contact.
Training That Changes Behavior
Phishing simulations show employees what real attacks look like. Regular training teaches them to spot red flags. The combination of exposure and education reduces phishing click rates dramatically.
