Phishing Attacks - What Are They and Prevention & Detection Techniques

Introduction

According to recent headlines £28k is lost every hour as phishing scams become 'more prevalent and dangerous'. It is therefore important for organisations to educate their staff on the risks of clicking on malicious links, opening infected attachments or divulging confidential information in an email.

Phishing awareness is not only about knowing the definition of phishing but involves a greater understanding of what to look for and how to respond.

This short e-learning programme will ensure that your staff are up to speed.

What You Will Learn

With interactive learning activities, knowledge checks and key reminder messages, the programme covers the following:

• Introduction to Phishing
