Phishing Isn’t One Problem. It’s How Everything Bad Starts.
Phishing is how attackers get in. From there, it can lead to credential theft, malware infections, ransomware, business email compromise, vendor fraud, payroll redirects, and account takeovers.
Most organizations don’t fail because of bad technology. They fail because phishing is a human behavior problem — and no one has the time to manage it consistently.
Why Most Phishing Programs Stall
Many companies license phishing tools and try to manage them internally. In practice, the responsibility lands on someone already wearing multiple hats.
- Campaigns get delayed
- Training isn’t followed up on
- Escalation never happens
- Reports only get pulled when someone asks
Tools don’t run programs. People do.
