Hey There!


Imagine kicking back with your morning coffee, scrolling through emails, and suddenly, an "urgent update" from "IT" pops up. It's tempting to click, right?

But hold up—that single click could be what cybercrooks are banking on to plunder your digital vault. Sure, we've got all those high-tech shields up, but here's a kicker: the real battlefield is your inbox.

Phishing 101: The Sneaky Imposter

Imagine getting an email that looks like it's from your bank, or the IRS (Skatteverket) but is actually a crafty fake, fishing for your secrets. Sounds old school, but guess what? Research shows about 67% of cyber breaches kick off just like this, with someone taking the bait on a seemingly harmless link. Yep, that's right—up to 95% of all cyber nasties start with a phishing scam.


A new dimension to this has araised in the last couple of years and most people have encountered in some form the aggressively expanding area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in some form or another. It looks really cool and all… and you’re not alone in thinking that. Cyber criminals also take advantage in using AI to further increase their accuracy and speed in their attacks to the extent that they are being developed and tailored more effectively and may even target specific employees within the company, everyone is a potential target for these online thiefs, not only c-level individuals.

The real cost: More Than Just Money

Getting hooked by one of these can do a whole lot more damage than just emptying your wallet. It can leak confidential info, shatter customer trust, spark legal nightmares, and drag your brand's name through the mud. Size doesn't matter here; all businesses are in the crosshairs.

Knowledge is power: Security Awareness Training

Time to turn the tables. Keeping your team clued in on these devious tricks transforms them from potential victims into vigilant guardians. It's about beefing up your human firewall with smarts and savvy.

Practice makes perfect: Simulated Phishing

Think of simulated phishing as a fire drill for cyber attacks—totally safe, but oh-so-realistic. It's our way of showing who's ready and who could use a bit more training to spot these tricks.
