Cofense, a phishing defense solution provider, recently released a report entitled “The State of Phishing Defense 2018: Susceptibility, Resiliency, and Response to Phishing Attacks.” The aim of this report is to help enterprises manage their risks by revealing the top phishing attack tactics.  

Key findings from the State of Phishing Defense 2018: Susceptibility, Resiliency, and Response to Phishing Attacks by Cofense include:

  • Email delivers 92% of malware to enterprises.
  • By the end of 2017, the average email user receives 16 malicious emails a month.
  • 10% of reported emails in 2018 were malicious.
  • More than 50% were credential phishing attacks.
  • The top phishing email subject line is “Invoice.” 60% of the most effective phishing campaigns of 2018 involved that subject line.

Aaron Higbee, Co-Founder and CTO of Cofense, said in a statement: “We see phishing emails bypass technology controls every day and more and more end-users recognizing and reporting these threats that slipped past million-dollar defenses. The results of our research detailed in the ‘State of Phishing Defense’ shows that resiliency is building across key industries thanks to those same people that were once deemed as the weakest-links in an organization.”
