Risky Biz Podcast: A look at running a modern phishing workflow

In this Risky Business News interview, Tom Uren asks Material Security’s Director of Security Chris Long about what it takes to run a “modern” phishing workflow. Chris thinks there are opportunities to take advantage of “phishing superusers”, employees who are a cut above when it comes to uncovering phishing and other malicious activities. Phishing is also the “point of the spear” for defenders — it provides an entry point into attacker activities that enable all sorts of potential detection opportunities.
