If one of your users or systems falls victim to a phishing attack, it’s important to recover from it quickly to limit the damage it can cause your organization. To reduce the impact of phishing attacks, consider these two steps:
1. Limit and validate administrator access.
Protect and validate admin accounts on devices to prevent phishing attacks from cracking an administrative password and gaining deeper access to a machine. All administrator passwords should be robust and follow FDCC standards.
2. Add multi-layer boundary defenses.
Control the flow of traffic (and malware) through the network by implementing borders. Create a mult-layered defense by utilizing firewalls, proxies, DMZ perimeter networks, and other network tools.
