Phishing has been used for many years by hackers. However, this phishing technique has been perfected over time, both in terms of the form of these false e-mails and the scenarios that are increasingly elaborate.
Today, phishing is also the first vector of contamination of a new cyber threat in full expansion: ransomware.
These malwares that demand a ransom in exchange for your data contaminate thousands of computers every day.
Faced with these threats and more broadly to counter the so-called “social engineering” techniques used by malicious people, it has become essential to raise awareness among employees to limit the exposure of your organization to new cyber risks.
