South Africa Phishing Response Trends
Organisations in South Africa and around the world are moving aggressively to fight phishing attacks.
With the number of global phishing attacks at 1,220,523, a 65% increase over the previous year, it’s no wonder we find ourselves in an arms race against attackers.

In fact, most organisations feel they have little, if any, expertise in anti-phishing and many feel their incident response processes are weak.
