In this podcast we talk about:

-The different threat types and actors behind them

-How the email threat landscape has evolved, and continues to evolve based on real world events

-The various elements that make up an attack

-New variants of threat to be aware of, such as Telephone Oriented Attack Delivery (TOAD) and malicious files within container files

Combining threat landscape insights with data on which of your users are targeted with which threats, organisations can build more effective security awareness training programs, and users can better defend themselves from the threats they are most likely to see.

 

In this podcast we talk about:

-How a bad actor might decide to attack your organisation

-How easy your users may be phished based on information they post on social media

-Users are not the weak link, they are just the easiest and cheapest for an attacker to target

-Every user has a unique risk profile, and because of that they have different security and training requirements

-It’s not possible to have a “one size fits all” program that trains users effectively

-The threat landscape changes day to day, you need to adapt with it so your training stays current and relevant
