5. Implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
While training is vital, technical controls are also necessary to minimize the impact of successful phishing
attacks. One of the most effective ways to protect against unauthorized access,
even if credentials are compromised, is multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Implementing MFA can add an additional layer of security making it more difficult
for attackers to gain access to an account even if they manage to deceive an
employee into divulging their credentials.
Phishing attacks continue to evolve but with the right combination of employee
education, culture, and technical defenses, organizations can significantly reduce the risk to their business. Humans are the weak link in phishing attacks so understanding the psychology behind what makes these attacks successful can allow you to proactively protect against phishing in the age of AI.
