Egress, a cybersecurity company that provides intelligent email security, recently released their Email Security Risk Report 2023. It's solid research that shows 99% of cybersecurity leaders are stressed about their email security with good reason. The numbers are scary. We mentioned their report a few weeks ago, but there are many important findings there.
Verizon has renewed its warnings to customers about the threat of smishing, a social engineering approach that relies upon texts as opposed to other communication channels like the email used in phishing. The smishing problem may be smaller than the phishing problem, or the robocall nuisance, but it represents a comparable threat that organizations should address in their risk management process.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, it's becoming more challenging for organizations to protect themselves from security threats. To stay ahead of cybercriminals, companies need advanced security tools like UEBA that can help detect anomalous behavior patterns that may indicate a security threat. However, the effectiveness of these tools largely depends on the quality and accuracy of the data they analyze.
