Are your employees trained to protect your company from phishing scams and social engineering?

An employee at a Glasgow company called Peebles Media Group recently fell for an email scam and cost the business nearly $260,000.

This employee is now being sued for the losses that her mistake cost to the company, despite her claims that she never received any training on how to spot digital fraud.

These situations are all too common. Cyber attacks cost the U.S. economy nearly $109 billion every year and that number will continue to grow.
