One in every 99 work emails is a phishing attack, according to a recent Avanan report. With employees accustomed to a busy inbox, it's easy to fall victim to a phishing attack disguising itself as a regular message.

From 2013 to 2016, cyberattacks cost business more than $5 billion, indicating how detrimental these subtle attacks can be to an organization. In just one year, between 2016 and 2017, phishing attacks increased by 65%.
