Webinar Description:
Although the news is rife with examples of cyber-attacks on large corporations and infrastructure, the majority of these threats affect individual users. Recent polls indicate that the average users believe they can spot cybersecurity threats such as phishing, malware, and more. Yet one study indicated that 59% of users cannot recognize phishing attempts. Additionally, 94% of cyber-attacks happen through email.
This webinar will provide a fundamental understanding of this rapidly changing landscape by illustrating some of the most current types of attacks and techniques used to impact everyday users. The webinar will also provide insight into tools and techniques for preventing and thwarting attacks.
