• Phishing Awareness: Phishing awareness training plays an integral part in safeguarding
information assets. Enterprises should educate and train their employees, customers, and third-
party vendors on types of phishing, anti-phishing techniques, and phishing prevention best
practices, etc.
Post COVID-19 – What Does the Future Look Like?
With the lockdown restrictions in place almost everywhere, a significant proportion of people already have
their presence online, from shopping, ordering food, and essential items to work from home. The shift to
a virtual workplace has become more pronounced than before, as a majority of online businesses are
already allowing their employees to WFH, which are likely to follow suit post COVID-19 as well,
considering the numerous benefits and overall increase in the productivity of the employees.
As a downside, though, cyber adversaries have seized the opportunity to target as many people as
possible. Hence, one can expect a surge in phishing attacks and scams in times to come. Therefore, one
should exercise extreme caution and neutralize the vulnerabilities to mitigate the information risks
encountered because of COVID-19. Deploying an effective anti-phishing solution is the need of the hour
to tackle these attacks better, and has never been so significant.
