Phishing is so prevalent these days that we include training to all of our clients. The more they are trained in what to spot - the less time we have to spend cleaning up mistakes. It's a win-win for all of us.

Phishing attacks are now something that we must deal with everyday. Client awareness is a key factor but there are also many things that we can do as IT to help prevent this. We're always looking for the best ways to help combat but not block legitimate messages and confuse users.

Its a geat article, it still bother me about phising attacks.  No matter how much you advise - users get caught up in their day to day and the Phishers take adavange of that.
Love the content! I always incorporate this into my training with new users for the security portion.

It is a little concerning that 29% of responders believe that their users aren't adequately trained; it is probably the most cost effective prevention!

No surprise that phishing is #1 on the security incidents list.
