93% of Organizations Cite Phishing as Top Threat
#1
Information 
Quote:Email remains the vector of choice for cyber threat actors with the majority of organizations citing phishing as their top perceived threat, according to a new survey from Dimensional Research and Barracuda Networks.
 
With the rise of more complex, advanced threats, such as account hijacking and spear-phishing, the majority of organizations have faced attacks in just the last year, according to a survey of more than 600 IT professionals responsible for corporate email security.
 
“On average, more than four-fifths (82%) of organizations claim to have faced an attempted email-based security threat in the past year, although the figures differ slightly by global region,” the report said.
 
The survey results revealed that despite growing confidence in security measures and awareness, concerns over phishing continue to rise, particularly given the reality that attack methods continue to evolve and target victims with social engineering. Nearly all (93%) of respondents said they are worried about business email compromise (BEC). With the prevalence of BEC and account takeover attacks, 79% of organizations are concerned about potential insider threats and other account hijacking attacks.
