In this episode, host Kevin Szczepanski and his guest, Bill Haber of TEKRiSQ, discuss preventing phishing attacks, which, they remind listeners, are “fraudulent attempts to obtain personal information through electronic messages.” Kevin and Bill highlight the prevalence and success of phishing attacks, emphasizing the need for vigilance by both individuals and organizations. Covering examples of types of phishing attacks—like spear phishing, smishing, and man-in-the-middle attacks—they offer takeaways that include slowing down, being cautious of urgency, verifying suspicious emails, conducting trainings, and implementing tools like VPN and DNS filtering. These practices can both enhance cybersecurity and improve the chances of obtaining cyber liability insurance.
