Phishing attacks have emerged as one of the most persistent threats to organisational security. At Peryton, we've witnessed firsthand how these attacks have evolved from simple email scams to sophisticated multi-channel threats that can breach even the most security-conscious enterprises.
Modern threat actors employ increasingly sophisticated methods, often combining social engineering with deep reconnaissance of their targets. We regularly see attacks that leverage publicly available information to create compelling scenarios that can fool even experienced executives.
Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks targeting C-suite executives have become particularly concerning. These attacks often involve weeks or months of surveillance, with attackers studying communication patterns and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
The first step in preventing phishing attacks is understanding your organisation's current vulnerability level. Through our work with leading Australian enterprises, we've developed a comprehensive approach that reveals real-world susceptibility to these threats.
Our approach includes several key components:
While technical controls are crucial, our experience shows that human behavior remains the critical factor in phishing defense. We've found that organisations often focus heavily on technology while underestimating the importance of human awareness and response capabilities.
Creating true phishing resilience requires a holistic approach that combines technical controls with human awareness. Through our work with Australia’s leading companies, we've developed a methodology that consistently delivers results.
Our experience shows that organisations that take a proactive approach to testing and improvement consistently demonstrate better outcomes when faced with real attacks.
The key is to start with a clear understanding of your current position. Through initial assessment and testing, we can help you identify your most significant vulnerabilities and develop a practical roadmap for improvement.
