Phishing Solutions: Test, Train, Protect

STOP THE MAJORITY OF CYBER ATTACKS BY TRAINING YOUR TEAMS 

 

Phishing is a cybercrime in which targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate contact in order to lure them into providing sensitive data, such as passwords and banking and credit card details. 

The information is then used to access important accounts and can result in identity theft and financial loss. These scams are often very sophisticated and can look authentic, which is why training is essential to recognise what to look for.

 

PHISHING ATTACKS COME IN MANY SHAPES AND SIZES!

 

Cybercriminals seek the easy options, and if that means getting one of your team to open a ‘door’ by falling for a phishing scam, then you need to teach them how to recognise the most common attempts.

 

RANSOMWARE – MALWARE – SESSION HIJACKING – CONTENT INJECTION – EXE FILES – DATA SNIFFING – KEYLOGGERS – TROJANS – LINK MANIPULATION - ETC - Phishing comes in many forms...

At Optic Security we regularly work with a wide range of businesses to help them become experts at avoid phishing attempts by;

  • Testing how likely staff are to opening a phishing email

  • Running online training campaigns, explaining what to look for 

  • Alerting your organisation to the latest phishing techniques

  • Putting plans in place in case you have a phishing attack

OUR CYBER PROFESSIONALS MAKE IT SIMPLE TO GET PROTECTED

 

At Optic we have a team of trained and licensed Cyber Specialists who know everything from cracking into your wifi to deploying ‘sniffers’ on your network traffic. In plain business English, they can talk you through the best methods of training your teams to be able to spot and then manage sophisticated phishing attempts.

Firstly we make sure we understand what you do – and where your threats might come from

  • Every business has operations that are unique to them and ways of working that need different ways of getting the training and messaging to land. Your business culture will be an important part of staying safe.

Tests and training can be seamlessly integrated into your day-to-day operations

  • Working with your business leaders and managers, all tests and training can be deployed as part of the normal day to day, whilst your teams are at their desks or phones – no need for special sessions or rooms.

You get regular reports and scam updates

  • Live reports can be produced at anytime to see how your teams are doing either in the test, training or follow up test phases. New joiners can automatically be tested as soon as they start and users can undertake the training refreshes as you need them

Security Advisory

 

Be vigilant. There has been an increase in reports of false billing scams. If you have received an email with an invoice purporting to be from us, call your Optic Security Group contact person to confirm if it is legitimate. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s National Anti-Scam Centre has reported a 25% increase in losses incurred by Australians from false billing scams in the July-September 2023 quarter compared to the same period last year. This is despite an overall 16% decrease in losses across scam categories.

 

Payment redirection scams are the most prevalent type of false billing scams. These involve scammers impersonating a business or its employees via email and requesting that money, which usually is owed to the legitimate business, is paid into a fraudulent account. For further information, visit the National Anti-Scam Centre website at https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/.   

 

Optic Security Group will never advise a change of bank details via email. If you have received an email with an invoice purporting to be from us, call your Optic Security Group contact to confirm if it is legitimate.
