2.  How does an anti-phishing protection tool or anti-phishing software work?

Anti–phishing software involves computer programs that strive to detect phishing schemes in websites, emails, or other means to obtain sensitive data.

3. What are anti-phishing techniques?

To stop phishing attacks, the users need to know the anti-phishing techniques that help them stop phishing efforts.  Latest anti-phishing solutions include the followings:

• Phishing Simulator
• Cyber Security Awareness Training
• Email Threat Simulator
• Cyber Threat Intelligence
• Phishing Reporter
• Threat Sharing
• Incident Responder

Whether it can be attributed to the rise of interconnected devices in the IoT revolution or just the growing instances of cybercrime, the cybersecurity industry has seen immense growth in recent years and shows no signs of stopping. The worldwide spending on cybersecurity products should come as no surprise, given that the average annual cost of cyberattacks worldwide is about $9.5 million, according to Ponemon Institute.

The damage to companies in terms of consumer confidence, public image, and legal trouble from such incidents can be considerable, but nowhere are the effects of cybercrime more dangerous than in finance, where highly sensitive information, large sums of money, and people’s livelihoods can be jeopardized. However, these threats have presented a promising opportunity for vendors who can educate and help firms implement cybersecurity defensive measures, to prevent intrusion manage user roles and policies in cyber security at affordable prices.

While technical upgrades are important for cyber security, minimizing human error is even more crucial. Mistakes by network administrators and users—failures to patch vulnerabilities in legacy systems, misconfigured settings, violations of standard procedures—open the door to the overwhelming majority of successful attacks. Moreover, One of the most intriguing findings from IBM’s “Cyber Security Intelligence Index” is that 95 percent of all security incidents involve human error. Many of these are successful security attacks from external attackers who prey on human weakness in order to lure insiders within organizations to unwittingly provide them with access to sensitive information. This also gives the opportunity to Keepnet Labs which primarily focuses on the human factor as a security awareness firm among other different security solution companies,  considering the fact that security awareness training for employees is the most under-spent sector of the cybersecurity industry.
