Guest editorial by Inti De Ceukelaire (Head of Hackers at Intigriti)

Recognising that you are vulnerable is the first step in recognising and mitigating risks. As a cybersecurity expert, I am not ashamed to say that I have clicked on a phishing email before.

To avoid disastrous scenarios, we need to learn to recognise patterns in order to build up a permanent vigilance. This can only be done by offering a continuous training program to our employees, one that is as agile as the growing cyber threat.

Why Phished?

Over 90% of all data breaches starts with a human error

Organisations invest many resources into setting up a state-of-the-art defense, yet they often neglect the biggest risk: their own employees. Any employee that doesn’t know how to effectively recognise cyberattacks is a potential zero-day vulnerability. By creating more cyber awareness amongst your employees, an offering phishing awareness training, your organisation is more secure.
