Let’s talk about QR codes

QR codes can be a security risk. Have you covered the base?

We’ve all scanned those little tags on tables, adverts and such. You’re not alone! In 2022 there was a 433% increase in QR code scans from 21. Your users will be doing this to work productively, efficiently and get things done.

So what’s the problem?

A malicious link hidden in a QR code can bypass traditional email filters. Additionally, the tell-tale signs of a phishing link are not as apparent with a QR code because it is difficult to validate and lures your users to switch to their mobile device with weaker security protection.

KnowBe4 have developed a new FREE tool so you can test your end users on the type of attack. Scan now to get started (see how easy it is!)

Are your employees “phish prone”?

Did you know that 91% of successful data breaches started with a spear phishing attack?

Find out what percentage of your employees are Phish-prone™ with your free phishing security test. Plus, see how you stack up against your peers with the new phishing Industry Benchmarks!

IT pros have realised that simulated phishing tests are urgently needed as an additional security layer. Today, phishing your own users is just as important as having antivirus and a firewall. It is a fun and an effective cybersecurity best practice to patch your last line of defence: USERS!

Here’s how it works:

  • Immediately start your test for up to 100 users (no need to talk to anyone)
  • Customise the phishing test template based on your environment
  • Choose the landing page your users see after they click
  • Show users which red flags they missed, or a 404 page
  • Get a PDF emailed to you in 24 hours with your Phish-prone % and charts to share with management
  • See how your organisation compares to others in your industry

The Phish-prone percentage is usually higher than you expect and is great ammo to get budget.
