Your phishing program has great metrics. Your employees are still clicking.
At BSides312, Mr. Sprawl is sharing a proven blueprint for phishing programs that actually change behavior. One startup went from a 40% click rate to under 10% in a year. No magic tool. Just a better approach.

Most phishing emails create urgency β€” your account is locked, a payment failed, something expires tonight. That urgency is the tell.

Legitimate services don't pressure you into clicking links. If the email is pushing you to act fast, slow down. Verify through official channels, not the link in the message.

Oft konzentrieren wir uns so sehr auf komplexe Schadsoftware, dass wir die physische Schnittstelle komplett vergessen. Dabei ist es erschreckend einfach, mit gΓΌnstiger Hardware massiven Schaden anzurichten – besonders wenn der Angreifer bereits im GebΓ€ude ist.

Heute Nachmittag darf ich im Rahmen der IT Security Awareness Days darΓΌber sprechen, wie InnentΓ€ter Hardware fΓΌr Spionage nutzen. Ich werde einige dieser Tools live zeigen, um fΓΌr dieses oft ignorierte Risiko zu sensibilisieren.

πŸ“ Ich freue mich ΓΌber jeden, der heute um 14:00 Uhr online mit dabei ist!
