Mr Nottke said: 'We’re doing phishing attacks on our people, sending them e-mails pretending to be a help-desk person or something, and depending on what they do with that e-mail - ignore it, open it and click on a link, or open and click and enter information - do targeted training.' 

Simple issues

He says that there are numerous products available to help organisations, but adds that the main issues are fairly simple and are 'only giving access to the right people, encrypting passwords and testing'. Source: Bloomberg Business of Law
