1 Educate your employees

The first line of defense against phishing is your human factor. You need to educate your employees on how to spot and avoid phishing attempts, and how to report them if they encounter them. You can use online training modules, quizzes, simulations, or newsletters to raise awareness and test their knowledge. You should also provide clear guidelines on how to handle suspicious emails or messages, such as verifying the sender, checking the URL, and deleting or forwarding them to your IT team.

Educate: Train employees on phishing tactics (SMS, emails, apps), red flags, and reporting procedures. Leverage Jamf for simulated attacks to reinforce learning. Technical: Employ EMM/MDM for policy enforcement, download restrictions, and malicious site blocking. Use mobile anti-phishing tools and secure browsers. Practices: Mandate downloads only from approved app stores. Offer a secure app selection through Jamf Self Service. Automate OS and app updates with Jamf Pro. Educate on public Wi-Fi risks, promote VPN use, and require encryption. Response: Have a plan for isolating compromised devices, revoking access, and resetting credentials. Formalize incident reporting and analyze trends to improve your security posture.

2 Implement EMM solutions

Enterprise mobility management (EMM) solutions are tools that help you manage and secure your mobile devices, applications, and data. You can use EMM solutions to enforce policies, such as requiring strong passwords, encrypting data, and enabling remote wipe or lock. You can also use EMM solutions to monitor and control the access and usage of your mobile devices, and to detect and block any unauthorized or malicious activities. EMM solutions can help you prevent data breaches, protect your network, and comply with regulations.

EMM is nothing but Microsoft Inune for an example. It can be used so that all the mobile devices and laptop devices can be made to report to intune so that we can manage them effectively and efficiently. We can implement conditional access control policies to block and can even use their logs for detection of any suspicious activities. For example interms of QR code related phishing campaigns we can implement conditional access policies to make sure that logins can be permitted only via devices reported to intune so that even if users use their personal devices to scan QR code it becomes increasingly difficult to compromise and navigate laterally inside the environment.

3 Update your software

Another way to protect your mobile workforce from phishing attacks is to update your software regularly. Software updates can fix vulnerabilities, improve performance, and add new features. You should make sure that your operating system, applications, antivirus, and firewall are up to date on all your mobile devices. You can use EMM solutions to automate or schedule the updates, or to remind your employees to update their devices. Updating your software can help you avoid exploits, enhance your security, and improve your user experience.

4 Use multifactor authentication

Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a method that requires more than one factor to verify your identity and grant access to your accounts or services. For example, you can use a combination of something you know (such as a password), something you have (such as a code sent to your phone), and something you are (such as a fingerprint). You should use MFA for all your sensitive or critical accounts, such as email, banking, or cloud storage. MFA can help you prevent unauthorized access, even if your credentials are compromised by phishing.

5 Backup your data

The last tip to protect your mobile workforce from phishing attacks is to backup your data regularly. Data backup is the process of copying or storing your data in a separate location, such as an external hard drive or a cloud service. You should backup your data frequently and securely, and test your backup regularly. Data backup can help you recover your data in case of loss, corruption, or ransomware, and minimize the impact of phishing attacks.

Use defence in depth to protect from phishing attacks. Use different security tools at different security layers such as email or web security solutions.
