KnowBe4, the provider of the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform,  announced the release of its phishing security resource kit to help end users defend themselves and their organizations against the threat of phishing attacks.

Phishing is a social engineering scheme in which bad actors attempt to acquire sensitive information from users such as login credentials and credit card information or trick them into clicking on an infected link or attachment that can download malware by disguising the email as being from a trustworthy entity like a known contact or organization. Over 90% of successful data breaches and hacks start with phishing scams — it is the most common form of social engineering and a threat to every end user and organization around the world.
