Describe indicators you can use to identify a phishing
email.
Explain the importance of employee knowledge
concerning phishing attempts.
Provide several recommendations for information security
practices that could be implemented to limit the risks and
impact of phishing emails.
There are several ways to identify a phishing email, some obvious and others more subtle. Always verify
the sender’s email address. Emails may have the same name, but a false domain name is attached to it.
Attackers will use urgency to try to rush you to click sabotaged links such as accounts past due or
payment details needing to be updated. You should never click links from unknown and unverified users.
You should access your accounts via the home page login and not the linked data. Phishing emails
typically have several typos and are often impersonal calling you by ‘User’ or ‘Customer’. Graphics within
emails can be false or formatted to open visually friendly through the operating system. I have had a
previous situation where a person was trying to get me to send money through Cashapp and the email
opened perfectly in my phone but when opened on a desktop the formatting was completely messed up.
Attackers are consistently updating methods and evolving practices.
Employees can be keepers of critical personal data information. They need to ensure that they are
keeping that information safe. Being unaware of phishing attempts and falling victim to them can leave
your company’s data and server possibly compromised. If an employee’s profile or computer were to be
compromised the attacker can gain greater access throughout the company causing more damage and
this can cost the company greatly.
Users should go through phishing awareness training. Companies can send out test emails to help ensure
users are sufficient in identifying issues. Companies should implement MFA (multi factor authentication)
when you login into sensitive databases. Software and security updates should be performed regularly.
Maintaining these practices can help assist and strengthen your security protocols and database from
possible attacks.
When responding to your peers, provide an additional
suggestion for an information security practice they did not
identify, and explain how your suggested practice would deter
or reduce the impact of phishing within the company.
