Phishing emails try to trick the recipient into doing something they shouldn’t, by disguising malicious attachments or links within seemingly genuine content. If the user does respond, then it could let the hacker gain access to the corporate network in order to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords or R&D information. PhishMe has proven that immersive training improves employee behaviour and complements existing technical controls to holistically tackle this ominous threat.
