Cybersecurity: what is Phishing?

The quantity of data processed by online users is getting more substantial everyday and it needs to be protected from cyber-attacks. With a strong strategy of cybersecurity, businesses can secure their systems from any malicious attempt to access, change or destroy sensitive or confidential data.

A typical cybersecurity threat can be phishing: usually performed through email, it aims to steal sensitive data or install malware on the victim’s computer by sending fraudulent communications that seem reliable.
As a result, a phishing attack in a company can damage its reputation by revealing personal information of employees and costumers, by stealing funds or by making files inaccessible.

Reinforcing the cybersecurity of your company is mandatory when doing business in order to establish a safe long-lasting relationship with potential partners.
