But here\u2019s the thing, phishing attacks have evolved and it\u2019s not just about sketchy attachments anymore.

With AI technology, they can create fake profiles, chatbots, and convincing voice impersonations, making it harder for people to distinguish between real and fake messages. Cybercriminals have honed their skills to exploit our most human traits \u2013 trust, curiosity, and fear \u2013 with frightening expertise. To effectively combat these threats, organizations should consider adopting a holistic approach to cybersecurity. This involves implementing tools and systems that work collaboratively with users.

When the power of people and technology unite, the organization becomes a formidable force against phishing attacks.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Contrary to popular belief, cybersecurity measures are not meant to create friction in business operations. In fact, they have the power to drive resilience, growth, and success by minimizing the risk of disruptions and financial losses caused by cyberattacks.<\/p>\n One of the key aspects of resilience is the ability to effectively manage change, whether it is positive or negative.
