The Managing Human Risk in Phishing whitepaper leverages the latest research on how organizations can better address human risk in relation to phishing.

Despite many organizations now employing technical solutions to limit the number of phishing emails reaching employees’ inboxes, cybercriminals have been using phishing emails to target victims for 30 years, with breaches continuing to occur. Attackers keep developing increasingly sophisticated methods to bypass these technical defenses, leaving employees to determine whether a communication is malicious or safe. Once bypassed, cybercriminals employ social engineering tactics to subtly manipulate recipients into responding as desired.

Due to current technological limitations, employees remain the most crucial line of defense against phishing; however, their own limitations are often misunderstood. While organizations are now focusing more on human-centered interventions, more needs to be done to understand what employees require to become competent, motivated, and socially empowered to protect their organization.

To mitigate human risk in phishing, organizations—and the tools they deploy—must provide interventions that respect human cognitive limitations while accounting for all factors that influence behavior.
