Cybersecurity remains a pressing concern for organisations of all sizes. One of the most prevalent threats to businesses today is phishing — a tactic that exploits human error to gain access to sensitive information or systems. Usecure’s Phish Threat and Training platform provides a comprehensive solution to this challenge, equipping employees with the knowledge and tools to recognise and respond to phishing attempts effectively.

What is phishing?

Phishing is a type of cyberattack where attackers impersonate legitimate entities to deceive individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as login credentials, financial details or personal data. These attacks often come in the form of emails, text messages or phone calls designed to appear trustworthy.

Phishing is responsible for a significant proportion of data breaches worldwide, as attackers continue to refine their techniques to bypass traditional security measures. The human factor is often the weakest link in an organisation’s cybersecurity chain, making employee training essential.
