Security Awareness and Phishing
Phishing: The Attack Vector
Phishing is a common and dangerous cyber attack that tricks people into revealing sensitive data or performing harmful actions. It often bypasses email security tools like Secure Email Gateways (SEGs).
Key points
Deception: Attackers pose as trusted sources (e.g., banks, platforms) to steal data—examples include fake Booking.com or Coursera emails.
Data Theft: Targets personal, financial, or corporate information for profit or abuse.
Widespread Impact: Causes 90% of data breaches and major financial losses.
AI-Driven Threats: AI-powered phishing is more advanced and effective, with success rates of up to 44% compared to 28% for human-made attacks.
Security Awareness Training (SAT): The Defense Mechanism
Security awareness is how employees recognize and respond to cyber threats. Effective training programs (SAT) teach them to spot and report phishing and other attacks.
Key features of strong SAT programs
Build Resilience: Turn employees into a defense layer against real threats.
Realistic Simulations: Use current, real-world phishing examples.
Ongoing & Adaptive: Training must be continuous, not just once a year.
In-the-Moment: Delivered when needed—e.g., after a phishing click—for better learning.
Positive Tone: Keep training short, respectful, and engaging (30–90 seconds).
Personalized: Tailored by role, language, and learning style.
Measurable Impact: Focus on real behavior changes, like fewer phishing clicks and faster reporting.
Automated: Use automation for easier rollout and management.

about solution
BrandShield Anti-Phishing
Key Capabilities
Monitoring and Detection: It provides a complete online map that tracks internet threats, including those originating from social media. This encompasses round-the-clock, AI-powered dark web monitoring to identify phishing threats to your brand. The platform utilizes advanced content analysis to detect non-infringing domain websites, beyond common typosquatting. It also features Website Duplication Detector and cutting-edge Logo Recognition technology to identify logos within graphic items, crucial for detecting brand impersonation. Further, it employs pattern detection and deep learning algorithms to pinpoint fraudulent activity.
Threat Takedowns and Enforcement: BrandShield manages all takedown activities through a comprehensive enforcement service solution, capable of detecting clusters of fraudsters. This includes automated takedown notices. Its enforcement team consists of experienced and professional law enforcement leaders, including in-house specialists who are licensed attorneys with experience in IP law. This expertise contributes to high success rates, such as a 98%+ takedown success rate for counterfeit listings.
Reporting and Analytics: All threat information is accessible at any time via a system threat dashboard. The solution provides periodic and detailed reports on monitoring, detection, and enforcement activities, allowing admins to track progress and demonstrate control.
Common Applications
Online Abuse Types: It provides protection against phishing websites, social phishing, online impersonation, look-alike web pages, brand abuse (including domain names, cybersquatting, logos, and content), false association, ambush marketing, and executive impersonation. It also tackles counterfeiting, online fraud, and trademark and copyright infringement.
Platforms Covered: The solution monitors threats on websites, social media, mobile apps, and the dark web.
Problems Solved
BrandShield helps organizations overcome critical cybersecurity challenges by addressing the evolving nature of online threats:
Combating Sophisticated Attacks: Cybercriminals are increasingly leveraging AI and Machine Learning to create more sophisticated phishing attacks, generating unique email content, mimicking human voices, and replicating brand identities in multiple languages, making them harder to detect. BrandShield counters this by using AI-driven tactics for detection and analysis, enabling it to identify both straightforward and subtle signs of malicious intent.
Extending Security Beyond Infrastructure: Many companies focus on internal defenses, leaving their external information space vulnerable. BrandShield extends protection beyond firewalls by actively monitoring online threats from outside the organizational network.
Mitigating Financial and Reputational Damage: Phishing attacks can lead to significant financial losses, legal consequences, and irreparable damage to a company's reputation. For instance, a major carbon supplier lost $60 million due to an email phishing scam. With 90% of data breaches stemming from phishing attacks and an average cost of $4.35 million per breach, BrandShield aims to prevent these outcomes through swift detection and takedown services.
Addressing Lack of Expertise: A survey revealed that many CISOs doubt their anti-phishing tools and lack the knowledge to detect and handle external threats effectively. BrandShield provides complete control over dangers and offers access to experienced IP experts to manage takedowns and enforcement.
Managing High Volume of Threats: With approximately 1.5 million new phishing websites created monthly, the solution facilitates rapid response to emerging risks and provides continuous monitoring to ensure no potential threat goes unnoticed.
Who Uses It
BrandShield's anti-phishing solution is designed for any company and brand susceptible to online phishing.

Customers
Ayalon Insurance:
Results: Ayalon's staff were tested with a sophisticated, covert approach, receiving emails that were "very hard to resist clicking on." The learning pages proved highly effective, with employees paying attention and showing a definite improvement in performance over time, becoming "much less likely now to click on a phishing scam." A significant success was achieved when a highly malicious email containing an attachment was sent, and not a single employee clicked on it; instead, many employees called the security team to report the suspicious email. This demonstrated that CybeReady's efforts in continuous, unpredictable training were successful.
Clalit Medical Services (Healthcare):
Results: The platform transformed Clalit's security culture in a "fully positive way, all without shaming or creating a bad vibe." Employees began sending "apology emails" after accidentally clicking on links and reporting emails that made them "think twice before clicking," a behavior that had not occurred before CybeReady. Some hospitals even made a competition out of cybersecurity awareness. The program was deployed efficiently across the large organization with minimal additional effort from Clalit's team.
Payoneer:
Results: Payoneer quickly observed a significant difference in employee behavior. The Employee Resilience Score more than tripled in the first six months and increased by over seven times within two years of training. The "Serial Clicker Rate" (high-risk employees) was reduced to almost 0%. Payoneer's security team also noticed real-life changes, with employees reporting phishing "very quickly" during "red team" drills. CybeReady provided valuable weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports, which Payoneer's executives appreciated for their robust business intelligence.
Ericsson:
Results: Ericsson observed a "real change in employee behavior," with employees actively participating in defending the organization and a cybersecurity culture emerging within 12 months. Critically, Ericsson reduced their click rate by half across their extensive and diversified workforce. The upgrade enabled them to present measurable results, showing employee improvement and cyber resilience, all without burdening their IT team.
