Question 218

Which of the following would be most effective in preventing phishing attacks from impacting business systems?

    Correct Answer: A

    Training users on security awareness is the most effective way to prevent phishing attacks from impacting business systems. Phishing attacks capitalize on deceiving users into providing sensitive information or clicking on malicious links. By educating users on recognizing and responding to phishing attempts, businesses can significantly reduce the likelihood of successful phishing attacks. Other measures, such as monitoring IT systems, using malware detection software, and blocking access to accounts are important but do not directly address preventing phishing at its source—the human user.
