Introducing Phriendly Phishing: Proactive cyber protection for your business

Has your business ever received an email that looked like it came from a reputable company, but something just seemed off? Maybe the email looked legitimate but asked for personal information or urged you to click a suspicious link.,

If you've experienced this, you may be one of the many New Zealand organisations caught out by increasingly sophisticated phishing scammers.

Don't worry. There is a solution.

Think Concepts is excited to introduce Phriendly Phishing. This award-winning cyber security and phishing simulation training package educates and empowers your organisation and employees, to protect your precious data and mitigate security risks.

In this blog, we will introduce Phriendly Phishing and explain how it can help your organisation stay one step ahead of scammers.

Phishing scams are much more common

As technology evolves, phishing scams are becoming extremely common, with approximately 90% of data breaches caused by undetected phishing emails, that were not dealt with correctly.

Scammers often target businesses with emails that appear to be from legitimate sources, such as insurance companies, government agencies, your company's suppliers, or even from your staff themselves. As business owners, dealing with sensitive customer data and financial information, you are particularly vulnerable to these scams.

Lost revenue

According to a recent report by CERT NZ, New Zealanders lost a record $20 million to scammers in 2022, with phishing and credential harvesting being the top two methods of online harm reported.

To make matters worse, it is estimated that approximately 95% of data issues are caused by human error, resulting in costly and damaging situations that could have been avoided with proactive training, innovative cybersecurity solutions and ongoing support and training.
