Phishing is a cyberattack (usually email-based) that occurs when threat actors disguise themselves as legitimate entities to trick users into revealing personally identifiable or sensitive information.
Phishing is one of the most common tactics used by hackers because it’s efficient and effective. With new tools and tech like AI at their disposal, hackers can now send out convincing phishing attacks to the masses with little effort required. The good news: we can be one step ahead.
Phishing attempts can show up as messages from your bank, your boss, your utility providers, or even the government. One click from one user can compromise an entire network and inadvertently let hackers deploy ransomware, steal information, or worse.
The median time it takes for a user to click a link and enter information is less than 60 seconds. With a turnaround time that quick, it’s no wonder phishing is one of the preferred methods used by hackers. (2024 Verizon Data Breach Report)

The Huntress Platform
No security tool can prevent 100% of threats, especially when end users are involved. While security awareness training is a vital first layer of your security stack, it is not foolproof. In the event that hackers do find a way into your environment, it’s important to have additional layers of security that can stop more advanced threats before they spread. With Huntress Managed EDR and MDR for Microsoft 365, you’ll have a team of security experts watching your back 24/7 to keep your business safe from hackers.
