Despite years of investment in training and layered email security, advanced phishing continues to bypass defenses, fool users, and lead to costly breaches. Why? Because phishing isn’t just a technical problem. It’s a dynamic threat that exploits people, processes, and technology gaps across an enterprise.
In this session, our threat intelligence and cybersecurity experts share insights from new research that sheds light on how phishing has evolved in 2025 and what’s coming next. They’ll break down the latest phishing tactics attackers are using to get past defenses today and reveal how well-defended organizations are also being compromised.
We’ll discuss:
- The top reasons phishing attacks continue to succeed across industries
- How attackers are adapting to bypass technical controls and target users across new platforms
- Emerging insights from upcoming threat research on phishing trends and tactics
