Phishing Attack Prevention: How to Identify & Avoid Phishing Scams
What is a phishing attack?
Hackers may send persuasive emails, text messages, or phone calls to the targeted victim to steal confidential information like login credentials, bank account details, or credit card details. Most phishing attacks are carried out via an email which seems to be from a legitimate sender. In this cyberattack, attackers use social engineering tactics to create a sense of urgency to lure an individual to click the malicious link, which may download malware that enables them to hack the user’s system and network.

The solution provides better visibility into security data to help you swiftly resolve critical events, thereby thwarting security breaches.
Rule-based correlation engine
Log360’s rule-based correlation engine identifies suspicious event patterns in your network logs, like suspicious software installations, by correlating various events to address threats. Log360 triggers an alert based on the workflow related to event logs and automatically assigns a ticket to a security admin.
UEBA
