Before we can assess risk, we need to define what risk is.
A risk is what happens when a threat acts on a vulnerability to create an impact. For example, a hacker sends your CFO a phishing email and she clicks the malicious link, giving the hacker login credentials for your corporate bank account and bang, you’re out $720,000.
The probably that a risk will manifest has two components:
The inherent risk before any controls (e.g., spam filtering, security awareness education) are in place to reduce/treat the risk
The residual risk that remains after controls are in place
Phishing emails can appear in several different ways. Our 10 Tips for Detecting Phishing Emails infographic provides you with a cheat sheet of what to look for in unfamiliar emails. It’s derived from our Online Security Awareness Education offering.
