美国伊利诺斯州绍姆堡 —Findings from a recent ISACA survey about strategies for phishing defense showed that only 12 percent of the roughly 1,5000 respondents were completely confident in their ability to assess the effectiveness of their phishing awareness efforts.

在这篇新论文中, 网络钓鱼防御和治理, 与特拉诺瓦安全公司合作发布, ISACA outlines key takeaways from this phishing research that reached security, 保证, 风险和治理专业人员, 包括:

  • Only a slight majority (63 percent) regularly monitor and report on the effectiveness of their activities.
  • 38 percent of respondents reported that their organizations develop security awareness collateral and anti-phishing materials internally.
  • 85 percent of enterprises measure and regularly report on the effectiveness of their phishing awareness programs

There is still a divide when it comes to organizations employing awareness activities such as email newsletters and online and in-person training, when compared to assessments of what employees have learned, through simulations and other knowledge-based tools. Simulation is not a common component of phishing awareness and training, with only 57% of those surveyed saying they perform phishing simulation, and 25% reporting they use other active knowledge-based assessment of employee phishing behavior.

“Current phishing defense strategies and implementation are clearly not hitting the mark,弗兰克·唐斯说, ISACA网络安全实践总监. “Strengthening these defense activities and improving outcomes is within reach, 但是需要仔细的计划和执行, and eliminating any gaps in managing and implementing these security awareness initiatives internally and externally.”

网络钓鱼防御和治理 also examines the potential correlation between joint internal and outsourced collateral development and the increased ability to report and measure on effectiveness, as well as the ways in which external service providers can be used to help support phishing defense. The white paper also provides some main areas of improvement where professionals should focus their attention when seeking to improve their phishing defenses, 包括:

  • Ensuring the organization has the capability to validate user behavior modification (such as through a phishing simulation)
  • Evaluating the outsourcing or co-sourcing relationships in place and determining where the organization has gaps in the quality of information it is receiving
  • Setting clear goals for improvement and tracking to them

“Phishing attacks continue to grow each year both in number and in cost to organizations globally and countless new phishing scenarios are created every day,西奥·扎菲拉科斯说, Terranova安全公司的首席信息安全官. “While human error continues to prevail as the leading cause of all breaches and security incidents, security professionals agree the most effective way to reduce human risk is with security awareness and phishing simulation training.”
