Avoid Business Phishing Scams
The use of phishing scams have become a primary tool for starting many of today’s sophisticated hacking attacks, even more so when a company becomes a target.

If you consider that most successful corporate phishing scams look like they’re from someone in the company, you can understand why victims tend to let their guard down.
If you can move your company away from e-mail for inter-company communications, it will make it very easy for all your employees to spot phishing scams.

The Slack platform works on any type of computing device and you can give it a try with an unlimited time free account!
