With phishing attacks on the rise every year, it’s critical to spot an attack early to protect your organization and its users. To enhance detection of phishing attacks, consider these 3 steps:
1. Monitor network devices.
If it’s connecting to the network, it needs to be inventoried, authorized, and monitored. use active monitoring and device configuration management tools to maintain an accurate inventory of network devices. This should include everything from servers and workstations to laptops and mobile devices. Doing this will help your security team spot when an unauthorized device is attempting to access your network, which can be a tell-tale sign of a cyber criminal attempting to gain access using information gleaned from a phishing attack.
2. Assess & train your security team.
To spot phishing attempts quickly, its important to make sure your team is trained on what to look for and how to respond. Begin by testing their capabilities to spot any weaknesses.
3. Conduct red team exercises.
