Email phishing remains the most commonly exploited attack vector despite many organizations making significant financial investments in phishing awareness training, DMARC and gateway-level email security tools. According to research from CyberDB, 156 million phishing emails are sent out every day and email users receive up to 20 phishing emails each month.
This whitepaper explores how modern phishing techniques, such as business email compromise (BEC), ransomware, spear-phishing and advanced persistent threats (APTs) are meticulously designed to defeat traditional email security approaches and how IRONSCALES’ advanced threat protection platform is uniquely built to addresses the contemporary techniques of phishers.
