DON’T Click that Suspicious Link!
Empower employees to act as an effective first line of defense against Phishing Emails.
Phishing is one of the most common and dangerous types of cyberthreat that can affect organizations of all sizes and across all industries. Even the most basic of cybersecurity strategies utilize measures to protect against phishing, in particular, employee security awareness training. This empowers employees to understand their role in the security of the company, stay alert and report suspicious emails and other indicators of a possible attack.
NEWCOM works with organizations to find robust cybersecurity solutions. Effective security awareness training is key to reducing risk and improving an organization’s overall cyber resilience.

Protect Against Email-Based Threats
Email is the primary mode of communication for most employees in professional correspondence, which makes it the ideal vector for taking advantage of human error to infiltrate a company.
These attacks predominantly have two main goals:
- Credential Theft: Attackers use phishing to steal login details through fake pages, gaining access to networks and sensitive data.
- Malware Deployment: Phishing can trick users into installing malware, causing system disruptions, privilege escalation, or ransomware attacks that lead to data loss and financial damage.
