This course in one part in our ongoing series on Fraud Trends in the Future. This specific course focuses on Targeted Attacks. In a targeted attack, your organization is singled out because the attacker has a specific interest in your business or has been paid to target you. The groundwork for the attack could take months so that they can find the best route to deliver their exploit directly to your systems (or users). In this course we discuss the types of targeted attacks, phases of targeted attacks and mitigation methods.
