The top social engineering attacks involve manipulating human psychology to gain access to sensitive information or systems. The most prevalent methods include various forms of phishing, pretexting, and baiting, which are often used as initial entry points for more complex attacks like business email compromise (BEC) and ransomware deployment. How do you control what users click on? Even with integrated email solutions, like Microsoft 365, you can't control what they click on. They see a convincing email, are in a rush, or are simply distracted. Next thing you know, they enter their credentials, approve the MFA prompt—and just like that, the cybercriminals get in with full access to users’ accounts. Is there anyway to stop this? Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how ThreatLocker Cloud Control leverages built-in intelligence to assess whether a connection from a protected device originates from a trusted network. By only allowing users from IP addresses and networks deemed trusted by ThreatLocker to get in—phishing and token theft attacks are rendered useless. So, no matter how successful cybercriminals are with their phishing attacks and token thefts—all their efforts are useless now. This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker.
