A human firewall is the answer to prevent phishing

Businesses often can’t deploy security technology fast enough to keep cybercriminals at bay – a combination of security technology and a human firewall is the answer.

And what about the human firewall being vulnerable to social engineering ????

exactly. the "human" is what is falling for these scams. they're dumb, susceptible to suggestion and will give up information to "hackers" by barely mentioning money or something of the like.

You can't deploy security systems fast enough because the HUMANS are falling for these all the time. So how do you prevent this?

Rigorous in-house training for all employees on phishing scams, what they look like, how they do it and what to watch out for.

I think in house phishing scams might actually be the best method to educate employees.

Phish/scam your own people and then offer up those cases at the end of the period and make examples of them.
