When Linton Harris, a security operations manager, encountered his first phishing email incident, he soon grasped the seriousness of the issue. He delved deep into understanding and resolving the problem, only to realize that more work needed to be done. As a result, he began examining tool configurations, improving testing and training procedures, and considering additional measures.
Phishing attacks like the one Harris faced have become increasingly common, with the number of incidents growing by more than 150% annually since 2019, according to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APGW). In 2022 alone, the APGW recorded over 4.7 million phishing attacks.
