Phishing
Definition
Phishing is an attack technique that tricks a person into revealing credentials, sensitive data, or installing malware, usually through emails, messages, or websites that impersonate a trusted source.

It remains the most common entry point in SMB security incidents, because it targets the human link rather than the technology. Staff training reduces incidents by up to 70%, based on the evidence we see in audits.
