Why you will be needing both technology and "awareness training" to prevent BEC and Phishing Attacks

Valimail research, which found that when it came to detecting fraudulent emails, there was virtually no difference between the scores of those who received anti-phishing training compared with those who didn't. Out of 11 emails, those who received the training identified 4.98 and those who didn't spotted 4.97.

"By taking on a more defense-in-depth approach, the burden on the humans is less, so there's a better chance that when emails do get through, the users will be able to detect them because they won't be overwhelmed.

"One of the big problems is that people tend to reuse passwords," Jacoby says.
