Use of Spear Phishing Exercises to Increase Security Awareness
Spear phishing, targeted e-mail that attempts to extract sensitive information without authorization, is a growing concern for individuals who need to protect their personal information and companies that need to safeguard their intellectual property. Technical controls on networks and systems cannot totally prevent spear phishing e-mail from reaching users’ e-mail inboxes, thereby requiring the e-mail recipients to understand how to recognize spear phishing attempts. To underscore the risks and importance of handling spear phishing e-mail appropriately, a security awareness method with immediate impact is needed.
The Colloquium™ recognizes that the protection of information and infrastructures that are used to create, store, process, and communicate information is vital to business continuity and security. The goal of The Colloquium™ is to work together to define current and emerging requirements for information assurance education and to influence and encourage the development and expansion of information assurance curricula, especially at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
