Spear Phishing Spotlight:

Citrin Cooperman’s cybersecurity team recently performed a simulated spear phishing campaign for a healthcare organization. The campaign’s objective was to reduce the susceptibility of the organization’s employees to becoming victims of an actual spear phishing attack. The simulations helped us to identify users who were prone to being tricked into supplying sensitive information, such as user credentials or personally identifiable information. Through education and reinforcement, we reduced the percentage of users falling prey to attacks from over 35% to 0%. This process improved the company’s overall security by boosting their users’ ability to avoid potential future attacks.
