In this blog, we’ll show you what to watch out for. The better you understand these phishing and social engineering techniques, the better you’ll be able to protect your business.

Common tactics used by attackers

Gone are the days when bad grammar was a telltale sign of a phishing attempt. Thanks to AI, hackers have levelled up their game. Here are some common tactics they’re using to lure their victims:

URL spoofing

Imagine losing access to all your critical data or getting locked out of your systems without a backup plan. It’s a nightmare scenario, right? Cyber resilience is what stands between your business and this potential disaster.

Link manipulation

You want your business to continue critical operations even when things go wrong. Cyber resilience keeps you “on” even when everything is down.

Link shortening

Cyberattacks can ruin your reputation. Cyber resilience can help protect the trust you’ve built and shows your customers that you take security seriously.

Resilience ensures you stay on the right side of regulations and ensures you avoid legal penalties and lawsuits.
