In this episode of Phishing for Answers, I sit down with Joe Evangelisto, CISO of NetSPI, to discuss some surprising insights on phishing susceptibility within organizations. We dive into the two most vulnerable groups—sales and developers—and how their different day-to-day responsibilities lead to unique phishing risks. Joe and I explore real-world examples of employees falling for sophisticated attacks, the psychology behind why they click, and how cybersecurity professionals can better protect their teams through awareness and behavioral insights.
We also cover how AI is changing the phishing landscape, making attacks more convincing than ever. Plus, we share tips on how to improve phishing simulations to effectively prepare employees without relying on fear-driven tactics.
Tune in to learn about the importance of a carrot-over-stick approach, real-time security reminders, and fostering a positive security culture that empowers employees to report threats.
