In cybersecurity, despite employee training, phishing attacks persist due to increasingly sophisticated methods used by attackers. This results in productivity loss, potential data breaches, and reputational harm. Current measures rely heavily on employees, who are often the weakest link. Existing training programs lack engagement, and detection methods are slow and ineffective. An ideal solution would involve enhanced training, proactive threat hunting, and improved reporting, which would mitigate operational disruption and protect sensitive data. Budget: $50,000 - $200,000 annually.

Number of phishing attempts, despite the extensive employee training, phishing attacks still remain a threat. We have several workshops on ensuring that employees recognize and report phishing attempts, but somehow they still get tricked and attackers tend to adapt their methods which creates a constant game of figuring out what their next phishing method is.
