Enterprise Employees Clueless About Phishing

Gregg Keizer writes in TechWeb News:

Enterprise employees are at a much bigger risk from phishing attacks than they think, according to a survey conducted by pollster Harris Interactive. In fact, a huger majority don't even know what phishing is, said the poll's sponsor, San Diego-based Websense on Wednesday.

The survey of 500 American workers and more than 350 IT decision makers pointed out a major disconnect between what employees think they're doing, and what their companies' IT staff sees them doing, said Dan Hubbard, the senior director of security and technology research at Web security and content filtering firm Websense.
