4 better ways to protect your business than dreaded (and useless) anti-phishing training

The article argues that traditional anti-phishing training is often ineffective and proposes four alternative measures to protect businesses from cyber threats: 1. Implement robust email security protocols: Use tools like DMARC, DKIM, and SPF to authenticate email senders and prevent spoofing. 2. Leverage real-time threat intelligence: Subscribe to services that provide up-to-date information on emerging phishing tactics and scams. 3. Automate phishing detection and response: Use machine learning-based tools to identify and quarantine suspicious emails before they reach employees. 4. Empower employees with contextual security guidance: Provide just-in-time security advice tailored to specific situations, rather than generic training. The article suggests that these proactive, technology-driven approaches are more effective than traditional, compliance-focused anti-phishing training, which often leads to decreased employee engagement and higher failure rates over time.
