Phishing: Why It Matters More Than Ever

Phishing is one of the oldest tricks in the hacker playbook — and it’s still one of the most effective. Why? Because the easiest way into a secure system isn’t through a super 1337 0-day exploit or an elite malware drop. It’s through people - the weakest link!

With just one click, a well-crafted phishing email can bypass layers of technical defenses and open the door to sensitive information, that initial foothold you need to push your assessment, ransomware infections, or even full-blown breaches.
