Watch On-Demand
Recorded live on Thursday, June 5, 2025
Communication in today’s digital workspace extends far beyond email. Employees use Microsoft Teams, Slack, cloud applications, social media, and file-sharing platforms to stay connected and productive. But cybercriminals are following — and exploiting — these very same platforms.
Proofpoint Threat Research has seen a staggering 2,524% increase in URL-based threats delivered via SMS-based phishing (smishing) over the past three years. Once they compromise an account, attackers can exfiltrate data, deploy ransomware, commit financial fraud, and erode trust.
How can organizations stay ahead of multichannel, human-focused attacks?
Join us for this 30-minute webinar to learn how attackers are evolving their tactics — and how you can evolve your protection strategies.
You’ll learn:
- How social engineering tactics are designed to exploit human behavior and manipulate how people interact with technology.
- The anatomy of multichannel, multistage attacks in today’s digital landscape.
- Practical strategies and key capabilities to stop threats across email and beyond.
