FEATURE: PHISHING
verification. By segmenting access and enforcing granular controls, a Zero Trust architecture minimises the potential damage of a breach and keeps attackers contained. It’ s a philosophy that fits perfectly with the evolving threat landscape, where identity has become the new perimeter.
In the end, no single tool, policy, or awareness programme alone can eliminate phishing altogether. The threat will continue to evolve, adapting to every new security measure we introduce. But by adopting a layered approach blocking threats at the source, authenticating communications, fostering a culture of awareness, and securing endpoints, we can make phishing far less effective and far more costly for attackers.
The battle against phishing is not one that can be won through technology alone. It’ s about aligning people, processes and technology to create a resilient defence system. Attackers may be getting smarter, but so can we. p
