IBM's Brooke Satti Charles on the True Cost of Phishing Attacks and How to Defend
The True Cost of Phishing Attacks

Midway through 2017, phishing attacks are very much on the rise, namely because they are too easy to launch and far too lucrative for the attackers, says Brooke Satti Charles of IBM Security Trusteer.

"Phishing is a really easy way to perpetrate an attack," says Satti Charles, a financial crime prevention strategist. "Creating a sophisticated way to break through a complex security system takes time, and sometimes a lot of money. So, why bother when you can simply trick a victim into giving up information or clicking a link?"

In an interview about the latest phishing trends and toll, Satti Charles discusses:

  • Today's most common phishing attacks and why they are so easy to launch;
  • How to calculate the true cost of such an attack;
  • How IBM is helping organizations improve their anti-phishing defenses.
