"Layering Diverse Defenses Is Crucial for Stopping Email Attacks"

The use of technology alone is not sufficient enough to defend against targeted email attacks. Adding to that, Evan Reiser, CEO of Abnormal Security, states that providing security awareness and anti-phishing training to employees is not a silver bullet solution either. Due to the natural tendencies of humans to look for patterns and repeat processes, including those associated with email, employees are likely to accidentally click on an email from a malicious source at some point. Reiser believes in taking a comprehensive approach that involves the combination of both training and technology to protecting against email-based attacks as the actors behind such attacks grow more sophisticated. This article continues to discuss the importance of having multiple layers of defense against email attacks, the need for organizations to build robust security awareness training strategies, and increasing collaboration to bolster cybersecurity.
