Cyberkriminelle haben es zunehmend auf Schulen wie die Zurich International School abgesehen. Die Schule reagierte zunächst mit Ad-hoc-Informationsveranstaltungen zur Cybersicherheit für ihre Mitarbeiter. Eine besorgniserregende Sicherheitsüberprüfung machte jedoch deutlich, dass dies nicht ausreichte.

Cloudwise begann als digitale Lernplattform für Bildungseinrichtungen, hat sich aber inzwischen zu einem allumfassenden IT-Dienstleister entwickelt, der für die Belange der Cybersicherheit auf die Tools von Phished setzt.

Phished übernimmt den Arbeitsaufwand des ConXioN-Teams und hilft bei der Steigerung von Serviceverkäufen, wodurch unser Partner Zeit gewinnt und sich auf das Pflegen der Kundenbeziehungen konzentriert, um den Mehrwert der Organisation unter Beweis zu stellen. Hier ist eine Übersicht, wie Phished ConXioN hilft.

Carconnex, ein bedeutender europäischer B2B-Autohändler, hätte nie gedacht, Opfer eines Cyberangriffs zu werden und dabei Geld zu verlieren. Doch genau das geschah. Es wurde deutlich, dass ein Premium-Service unbedingt mit erstklassiger Phishing-Schulung für das Personal einhergehen muss. Die Firma ging eine Partnerschaft mit Phished ein, und die positiven Ergebnisse zeigten sich umgehend.

It is the end of November. That means avid holiday shoppers are reaching for their wallets. Each year Black Friday and Cyber Monday grow in popularity, but cyber criminals are rapidly becoming fans as well. And this year it is worse than ever.

Cybersecurity training is only effective if employees can remember it. Unfortunately, this is rarely, if ever the case. Even 150 years later, 19th-century psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus can still explain why your employees will let hackers in if they are not structurally trained.

A strong cybersecurity training covers as many ways as possible in which your colleagues can be attacked. That is why Phished now offers smishing as an integrated part of the 360° training platform. In the video below, cybersecurity advisor Ashley explains how to set up a smishing campaign.

Cybersecurity review platform Expert Insights awards Phished no less than two awards.

If you, one of your accounts, or your employer is hacked, a lot of personal data ends up in unfamiliar hands. What is more, that data can be stolen without you even noticing. So, where does it end up?

In most cases, phishing is done by email. In such a phishing mail, the sender asks you to sender asks you to 'verify' your details by clicking on a direct link in the email. The link and the website it refers to appear to be from the same trusted source that provided the email. In reality, it all belongs to a scam.

Passwords come in all shapes, types, and sizes. However, people often choose something easy to memorable. A date that means something to them, a place they like to visit, their favourite game show,...

Chinese or Russian hackers may be targeting your data, but they are far from the only or even the most important threat to your company's cyber security. Most organisations fall victim to considerably more mundane techniques such as social engineering via phishing, or even insider threads. In the latter case, the threat comes from within, but that doesn't necessarily mean that your business has to contend with a malicious mole. Nonchalance or ignorance are just as great risks. How do you arm your organisation and your employees against this?

Phished offers businesses and (public) organisations the tools to train their employees in cybersecurity topics and to give them a greater awareness of the digital dangers. An important aspect of this is anti-phishing training.

Protect your domain against spoofing, because Microsoft and Google don't do it automatically

Despite the world slowly moving back to normal, remote working is here to stay. Companies and employees alike have discovered the benefits of remote working, but is online working from home safe?

In 2021, Phished successfully made the transition from startup to ambitious scale-up. With the launch of a new office in New York, the company meets the global demand for intelligent cybersecurity solutions, continuing its strong roadmap for growth. Earlier this year, Phished, winner of the Data News and Computable startup of the year awards, already crossed the channel by opening a department in London.

A little later than traditional schools, Phished today opens the doors of the renewed Phished Academy. In light of European Cybersecurity Month, we are launching an improved experience, with more in-depth training methods and more options for account administrators.

What you (should) not do if you want your anti-phishing training to be a success

Executing an anti-phishing campaign within your company is the first step in making your employees more alert to cyber threats, but how do you execute this campaign exactly? A thoughtless anti-phishing training program can do more harm than good. It is therefore crucial to use the right strategies when training your employees to recognise phishing emails.

You’d think it’s easy: you provide all of your employees with administrator rights to their accounts and they will not disturb you every time they want to download a file or change a setting. But no convenience will ever make up for the dangers that lie with giving everyone full access to their account. Here’s why granting every employee admin rights is synonymous to cyberattacks and data leaks.

For years, cybercrime has been evolving to steal personal data as efficiently as possible. How exactly do hackers do this?

If you want to train your employees to be better equipped to deal with phishing attacks, you’re going to have to use cybersecurity microlearnings and anti-phishing training on a regular basis in order to achieve the best results.

You might think that phishing only occurs in small companies because they’re much more fragile than big tech companies like Facebook and Google. However, you could not be further from the truth. Big tech companies are just as vulnerable to phishing as small companies and here are 5 prime phishing attack examples:

Why cyberattacks are not going anywhere

From indulgences to pyramid schemes: scams that prey on human tendencies have been around for ages. And they are here to stay.

Phished helps you build your own Human Firewall, but what does that mean, and why is it important?

Even before your company is phished, you need to take action. What steps should you take and how can you prevent this from happening (again)? Phishing expert Arnout Van de Meulebroucke provides six tips.

During the month of July, I did a content marketing internship at Phished. I wrote more than 200 phishing simulations and a few articles, learned all about cybersecurity and discovered a knack for predicting the future.

The ISO 27001 standard provides proof that as a company you are taking the necessary steps to protect the data of your customers and your employees. What does it entail, what are the benefits, and what conditions do you need to meet to get ISO 27001 certificated? And how does Phished help you become compliant automatically?

The majority of successful phishing attacks happen due to human error. A company can arm itself and its employees against this in many ways. Cybersecurity awareness is indispensable for this.

In recent years, more and more people have fallen prey to smishing and vishing. Why is this the case, how do smishers and vishers operate, and how did three blind vishers fool the Israeli army? All will be revealed in this blog post.

Every phishing attack has the same basis: 'social engineering'. What is it, how do you recognize it and how do you protect yourself from it? And what does Leonardo DiCaprio have to do with it?

Phished recently introduced the Flexible Income Plan for its employees. What exactly is 'FIP' and why is it perfect for a fast-growing company like Phished? Our HR expert explains.

Phishing does not always happen by e-mail. When it occurs as a text message on your smartphone, it is called smishing. We dive deeper into what it is, how you recognise it and what you can do about it.

When phishing is done by phone, it is called vishing. How do you recognise it and how best to deal with it?

Taking a ‘people first’ approach and creating a strong cybersecurity culture in an organisation with thorough cybersecurity awareness, training, and education prevents human errors and leads to a robust defence.

Cybersecurity comes in different forms. To prepare your employees as thoroughly as possible for every conceivable risk, it is best to use different tactics. An internal phishing campaign is a powerful example.

The major Facebook leak, in which millions of Belgian personal data were freely available online, constitutes a great danger for companies: the man in the street, whose data was now made public, is after all also an employee within your organisation. What exactly are the increased risks for your company and what measures can you take as an employer?

Practice makes perfect and it’s no different for cybersecurity. Those who never come into contact with digital threats will not recognise them when they come face to face with them.

Any company that starts with the Phished platform often scores ‘high’ on the initial baseline measurement – up to 50% success rate. After one year, Phished manages to reduce this to less than 5%. How do we do that and why is it so efficient?

Working for a start-up offers many advantages: from a creative approach to extensive experimentation, everyone will find something to their liking at Phished. Three (possibly future) colleagues explain why it could be something for you.

Organisations in the healthcare industry are not sufficiently prepared to deal with cyberattacks. Hospitals are at risk, but retirement homes are as well: phishing ails everyone.

Getting hacked only happens to the ill-advised or the low-skilled? Cybersecurity specialist Arnout Van de Meulebroucke speaks from experience when he says: “It will happen to you.”

Why bother to prevent ransomware and other digital threats when insurance companies are prepared to mitigate any damages? Because it is a bad idea to take no precautions at all.

Is the CEO of your company the weakest cybersecurity link? Recent trends seem to suggest as much. Why is that and what can be done against CEO Fraud?

Phishing trends: Are your suppliers an unexpected security risk?

Computer scientist Jeroen Baert is certain: everyone can be targeted by hackers. Even the experts who know how spear phishing works.

Starting today, the Phished Academy opens its doors to all new and current clients. Offering tailored and in-depth anti-phishing training hand in glove with our existing, personalised phishing simulations, your coworkers will be more prepared than ever when faced with phishing attacks.

Phishing is currently a hot topic in the media and rightly so! However because of all this attention, there are often misunderstandings about phishing. Using this post, we would like to resolve a few of these misunderstandings.

Phishing is a type of cyber crime involving a hacker, who pretends to be a trustworthy source, who tries to steal sensitive information (such as passwords, data or credit card numbers) from a victim.

Phishing As A Service (PHAAS) is a service that teaches your employees how to deal with phishing efficiently and safely.

Phishing is currently a hot topic in the media, and has been so for a while now. Everyone thinks that a major attack will not happen to them, but what if it does happen to you as a company? Then you certainly need one thing to save your reputation as a company: a well thought-out crisis communication plan. But how do you deal with that in concrete terms?

In recent years the number of phishing attacks has increased enormously, and according to some reliable sources this number even doubles every year. This of course results in more and more people being phished, but what do you actually have to do if (you think) you have become a victim of Phishing?

Phishing is a dangerous form of cybercrime that cannot be detected by regular antivirus software and potentially has serious consequences for your organisation. Alert employees who recognize phishing signals are the only and best defence.

The Covid-19 virus is tormenting the world. Can we learn anything from fighting computer viruses to overcome this Corona crisis? It seems that both require a very similar strategy.

Das ökologisch inspirierte Einrichtungsgeschäft suchte nach einer Möglichkeit, seine Mitarbeiter in Cybersicherheit zu schulen und gleichzeitig die Arbeitslast für die IT-Abteilung zu verringern. Phished war die Lösung.

Phishing-Training ist in den Vereinigten Staaten nicht gesetzlich vorgeschrieben. Dennoch gehört es zu den Top-Verkaufsartikeln bei Mosaic CS. "Das liegt daran, dass Phished einen ausgezeichneten Service, eine qualitativ hochwertige Lösung und eine garantierte Reduzierung der Risiken für Cyber-Vorfälle sowohl für unsere Partner als auch für unsere Kunden bietet."

Carconnex, ein bedeutender europäischer B2B-Autohändler, hätte nie gedacht, Opfer eines Cyberangriffs zu werden und dabei Geld zu verlieren. Doch genau das geschah. Es wurde deutlich, dass ein Premium-Service unbedingt mit erstklassiger Phishing-Schulung für das Personal einhergehen muss. Die Firma ging eine Partnerschaft mit Phished ein, und die positiven Ergebnisse zeigten sich umgehend.

Royal Mencap ist eine britische Wohltätigkeitsorganisation für Menschen mit Lernschwierigkeiten. „Viele nehmen an, dass wir von Cyberangriffen verschont bleiben, aber leider überlegen Hacker nicht zweimal, von jenen zu stehlen, die es am meisten brauchen“, sagt Andy Bone, Leiter von Cyber, Information, Sicherheit & Datenschutz (CISP). „Um unser Geld und alle sensiblen Informationen bestmöglich zu schützen, haben wir beschlossen, unseren Mitarbeitern ein Cyber-Sicherheitstraining anzubieten.“

Eine kürzlich durchgeführte Sicherheits-Audit bei Acces Industrie, einem Spezialisten für den Verkauf und die Vermietung von Hubarbeitsbühnen und Personenaufzügen, deckte eine Anfälligkeit des Unternehmens für Spear-Phishing auf. Dadurch wurde deutlich, dass eine Cybersicherheits-Politik unerlässlich ist: Phishing-Angriffe müssen sofort erkannt und neutralisiert werden, um Unternehmensdaten jederzeit zu schützen.

Durch die Zusammenarbeit mit Phished kann Acces Industrie nun die Richtlinien seiner Cybersicherheits-Politik nicht nur effektiv umsetzen, sondern die Mitarbeiter sind auch tatsächlich in das Training involviert, und eine positive Entwicklung im Bereich des Sicherheitsbewusstseins ist deutlich sichtbar.
