Training: Needed Now More Than Ever

from Cyber Sitrep

Phishing attacks aren't what they used to be. Gone are the days when every phishing email was filled with obvious spelling mistakes, strange formatting, and suspicious requests. Today's attacks are becoming increasingly convincing, using better social engineering, impersonation, and even AI to make malicious messages harder to distinguish from legitimate communication. In this episode of Cyber Sitrep, Eric and Mike discuss why cybersecurity training is needed now more than ever. As attackers improve their techniques, organizations can't rely solely on technology to protect them. Employees remain an important part of an organization's security, and effective training can help people recognize phishing, social engineering, and other threats before a simple click turns into a much larger incident. We discuss how the threat landscape has changed, why traditional security awareness training may no longer be enough, and why keeping employees educated and prepared needs to remain a key part of any cybersecurity program. The attacks are getting better. Our training needs to get better with them. 🎙️ Cyber Sitrep – Episode #48 Training: Needed Now More Than Ever 📅 New episodes every Wednesday at 1:00 PM MST Links: Corvus website: https://www.corvus-tech.net/ Digital Beachhead website: https://digitalbeachhead.com/ The Cyber Sitrep brings you all the latest cybersecurity news, commentary, and threat intelligence.
