Phishing for Dummies

Phishing remains the leading initial access technique in enterprise breaches, and its persistence reflects a simple truth: social engineering attacks exploit human behavior in ways that technical controls alone cannot fully prevent. This guide explains how phishing attacks work in plain terms, covering the email-based, smishing, and spear-phishing techniques attackers use to steal credentials, deliver malware, and compromise business email accounts. IT and security teams will come away with a layered defense strategy covering email security controls, user awareness training, multi-factor authentication, and the detection capabilities that catch successful phishes before attackers can move laterally or exfiltrate data from compromised accounts.
