Phishing

Phishing is a deceptive and fraudulent practice in which malicious actors attempt to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as login credentials, personal identification, credit card numbers, or other confidential data, through impersonating a trustworthy entity, such as a legitimate company, government agency, or individual, through various means like email, instant messaging, or fraudulent websites. Phishing attacks aim to influence the victim's trust and emotions to force them to do acts that jeopardize their security and give the attacker access to their accounts without authorization, allow them to steal identities, or carry out other criminal activities. Phishing is a prevalent and ongoing threat in the realm of cybersecurity, and individuals and organizations need to remain vigilant to detect and defend against such attacks.

ThreatNG is an all-in-one external attack surface management (EASM), digital risk protection (DRP), and security ratings solution that is pivotal in safeguarding an organization's external digital presence against phishing threats. By continuously monitoring and evaluating the organization's digital assets, including websites, domains, and online profiles, it helps identify potential vulnerabilities and phishing risks. Moreover, it enhances internal security measures by providing a comprehensive view of the organization's external risk landscape, enabling proactive risk mitigation strategies and, thus, fortifying defenses against phishing attempts that target external-facing systems, safeguarding sensitive data, and maintaining trust with stakeholders.
