Protecting users and domains with ATP anti-phishing protection and policies
Phishing is a practice utilized by malicious actors designed to trick email users into revealing personal or sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card numbers. Phishing is a form of what is known as social engineering, during which emails will be sent by what appear to be genuine and reputable email domains from well-known and trusted organizations, but, in fact, originate from malicious sources.
It is extremely difficult to prevent phishing attacks, as the average email user is not trained to look for clues and signs that would alert trained IT professionals that an email is not genuine. Educating your users on the principals of phishing, and what they need to be aware of, is certainly a good start in trying to minimize phishing attacks within your environment. However, education alone is not enough, and this is where Office 365 ATP comes in.
