Phishing Prevention

Definitions

1. The combination of controls used to reduce phishing success, including mail filtering, domain authentication, safe browsing, phishing-resistant MFA, awareness training, and user reporting workflows. Prevention is strongest when technical controls remove easy wins rather than relying on user vigilance alone.

   In plain English: Measures used to stop phishing attacks from succeeding.

   Example: "Phishing prevention got materially better only after the company rolled out hardware-backed MFA instead of depending on training slides."
