The annualized business impact from phishing attacks can be financially material, a risk which most organizations determine they cannot simply ignore. In this whitepaper, Aberdeen’s analysis of empirical data shows manual, adhoc efforts to identify, verify, and remediate phishing attacks.
Key Learnings :
- The risk of phishing attacks can and should be quantified, to help senior leaders make a better-informed business decision regarding what to do about it.
- Post-delivery incident response by generalized IT Staff is the least effective approach, reducing the risk from phishing attacks by less than 5%.
- Automated, technology-based pre-delivery protection and post- delivery protection and incident response from specialist service providers is by far the fastest and most effective approach
