Phishing Guide

Phishing is one of the easiest ways for threat actors to sneak into your systems—no brute force or fancy hacking required. They simply pose as someone you trust, send an “urgent” email or text, and hope you click or share sensitive data before you realize it’s all fake. It happens to organizations of every size, from small businesses to large enterprises, but the good news is you can fight back with some proactive measures and a well-trained team. Let our phishing guide light your path.


Phishing Guide & Resources by Huntress

As more people work remotely and email traffic ramps up, the opportunities for scammers to fool unsuspecting users have only grown. Education is just as important as security technology—after all, you can’t secure your endpoints if your team doesn’t know what signs to look for.

We built this hub because phishing remains one of the top ways (and easiest methods) threat actors use to gain a foothold in businesses of any size.

Learn all the basics and then some: Get a solid grasp on how phishing works, what causes phishing attempts to be successful, the damage it can cause, and how to protect your organization from these schemes.

  • Who it’s for: Whether you’re an IT pro, a business owner, or just someone fed up with shady emails targeting your teams, you’ll find resources here to help you identify phishing attempts, train employees to spot them, and level up your security posture.
  • How it helps your business: Our guide shows you exactly how attackers operate and breaks down practical steps to shut them out. You’ll walk away knowing which red flags to watch for and how to set up solid defenses on all ends.

There are plenty of reasons we put this phishing guide together.

But we also see how a team that understands what phishing looks like can stop these con jobs cold. With the right knowledge and support, you can keep your organization ready to fend off even the most clever and realistic attempts.
