According to research conducted by CyberEdge Group earlier this year, organizations continue to struggle with phishing attacks and their employees' susceptibility to cyber threats. The findings based on surveying 814 IT security decision makers and practitioners highlighted:

• Phishing/spear phishing is the top cyber threat concern followed by malware and zero-day attacks
• Low security awareness among employees continues to be the greatest inhibitor to defending against cyber threats
• Only 20% of IT security professionals are confident their organizations have made adequate investments in educating users on how to avoid phishing attacks

"This partnership is instrumental for both organizations as it will ensure that a customized solution can be designed, implemented and delivered to enterprise and mid-market accounts whereby providing their employees with the right tools to heighten their awareness in identifying potential IT security breaches," said Earl Robinson, VP of Global Channel Sales, PhishMe.
