How to reduce phishing clicks on first contact
A short playbook for teams when a suspicious message arrives before a formal alert.
This practical guide provides a complete playbook for identifying and responding to phishing attacks in corporate environments. Prior preparation is essential to minimizing the impact of a successful attack.
Before an attack: implement advanced email filters, train employees regularly with phishing simulations and establish clear protocols for reporting suspicious emails. Document your incident response procedures.
During an identified attack: isolate affected systems, preserve evidence, notify the security team and do not interact with malicious content. Immediately communicate all employees about the active threat.
After the incident: conduct a forensic analysis to understand the attack vector, identify all potentially compromised systems and data, notify affected parties as required by law and implement improvements to prevent similar attacks in the future.
