Cybersecurity threats aren’t just a problem for IT—they’re a business-wide concern. And one of the most common, effective methods attackers use, phishing.
Phishing emails are crafted to look legitimate and trick recipients into clicking harmful links, downloading dangerous files, or revealing sensitive information like login credentials, credit card numbers, or employee data. It only takes one mistake to open the door to a major breach. 91% of phishing attempts are via email, typically a Gmail account.
But here’s the good news:
Most phishing attempts can be identified in 30 seconds or less—if your team knows what to look for.
At Twin State Technical Services, we take cybersecurity seriously, and part of our proactive approach includes using KnowBe4, an industry-leading platform for phishing protection and security awareness training. Whether you’re an individual or an organization, understanding phishing is critical to keeping your data safe.
With our KnowBe4 training platform, we help your team:
- Identify phishing emails by spotting red flags like unusual senders, spelling mistakes, suspicious links, or fake branding.
- Understand social engineering tactics that manipulate trust or urgency to get users to click.
- Practice safe responses through realistic simulations and interactive training modules.
- Build a culture of security awareness that strengthens your entire organization.
Our approach is proactive, not reactive. We don’t wait for a breach to start the conversation—we help you stay ahead of cybercriminals by making cybersecurity second nature for every employee.
What are the signs of phishing your team should watch for?
- Emails from senders you don’t recognize or weren’t expecting
- Attachments or links that don’t match the message
- Poor grammar, typos, or slightly “off” logos
- Messages that demand quick action: “Click now to secure your account!”
You don’t need a cybersecurity degree to defend your business—you just need the right training.
And that’s where we come in. Whether your organization is just getting started with cybersecurity awareness or you’re looking to level-up your existing strategy, we’re here to help. Let’s make your team your first line of defense.
