How Districts Can Fend Off Sophisticated Phishing Attacks

Join the K12 Security Information eXchange (K12 SIX) and Identity Automation for an informational webinar on how to defend against spear phishing attacks targeted against school systems.

Spear phishing attacks are a growing threat to organizations of all sizes. These targeted attacks can be difficult to detect and can have devastating consequences, including data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage. In this webinar, we will review how a Midwestern school district successfully fended off a professional spear phishing attack that targeted student data to harvest for identity theft. Learn how they did it and how you can protect yourself from similar attacks, as well as how to develop a comprehensive strategy based on identity threat detection and response (ITDR) capabilities. We will discuss the latest tactics and techniques used by attackers, as well as the steps you can take to mitigate the risk of a successful attack.

You will learn:

• How to identify and avoid spear phishing emails
• How to implement security measures to protect your organization from spear phishing attacks
• How to develop a comprehensive response plan in the event of a spear phishing attack
