Survey highlights rise of sophisticated phishing attacks that manage to trick even trained IT professionals.
The global shift to remote working has further aggravated the onslaught, sophistication, and impact of phishing attacks, a new survey has suggested. Security vendor Ivanti quizzed over a thousand enterprise IT professionals across the US, UK, France, Germany, Australia and Japan, finding nearly three-quarters (74%) of organizations claimed to have fallen victim to a phishing attack in the last year. As many as 40% confirming they were victimized in the last month alone. Ivanti builds on a recent research by Aberdeen, which discovered that attackers have a higher success rate on mobile endpoints than on servers.
