Phishing attacks illustrate failure of security awareness training, survey says

Security vendor PhishMe conducted a survey of 250 security professionals during the Black Hat USA conference in Las Vegas July 24-26. More than two thirds said they encounter phishing messages that get past anti-spam filters at least a few times a week. A quarter of the respondents said they see such messages in users mailboxes multiple times every day. Only 16 percent of security professionals train their users via simulated attacks, according to the survey. Three of the top four training methods listed by Black Hat attendees are largely unsuccessful.”]
