Volume
Today’s attackers are adept in using tools that help them automate their attacks, carrying out thousands of phishing attacks daily. They only need one to work.
Low and Slow
When a phishing attack is successful, the user, and the security team, may not be aware it happened for days, weeks, or even months. Attackers are keen to move low and slow when appropriate if it helps them achieve their goals.
Automation Shortcomings
If security teams can identify a phishing attack, they must take consistent response actions quickly. Unfortunately, without the right technology, responses will be manual and slower.
How to Defend Against Phishing Attacks
Endpoint
Protection
Attackers typically target endpoints as
their point of entry so your security team
must monitor and capture critical data
from all endpoints for analysis.
Email
Protection
Since phishing attacks typically occur via email, deploying a solid email protection product is a must-have to give security teams the ability to detect when users might be targets of an attacker's phishing attempts.
Network
Protection
To traverse your environment, attackers will be moving across your network, thus, reliable network protection, such as an NDR solution, must be included in your security stack.
User & Entity
Behavior Analytics
While you gather data from endpoints and servers with your endpoint protection, the heavy lifting when identifying normal and abnormal behavior occurs in a User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) solution. Understanding normal is critical to identifying phishing attacks.
Security
Analytics
Security Analytics allows you to detect potential signs of attacher lateral movement when actively monitoring and correlating user and entity behaviors and flagging suspicious activities.
Automated
Response
With the previous protection layers in place, you need a way to respond to a detected threat at scale quickly. An automated response product like SOAR can be the difference between thwarting an attacker early and a wide-scale breach.
