Escalating Spear-Phishing and CEO Fraud: The Unending Threat from Email In recent years, spear-phishing and Business Email Compromise (BEC), commonly known as CEO fraud, are rising, with damages expanding. According to the '10 Major Security Threats 2025 [Organizational]' report by the IPA, targeted attacks and BEC rank as critical challenges for business continuity. With the widespread adoption of generative AI, emails are becoming more convincing, making it harder to detect impersonations of suppliers or executives. This has increased the difficulty of identifying malicious payment requests or data exfiltration instructions. While many companies conduct annual email training, it often places a heavy burden on IT departments for preparation, delivery, aggregation, and reporting. Consequently, training often becomes a mere formality. Furthermore, tracking and managing employee responses to suspicious emails remain difficult.

The Hurdles of Cost, Man-Hours, and Customization: Why Conventional Training Falls Short While training is effective for raising awareness, it is costly and labor-intensive for administrators. Pre-training preparation, post-training reviews, scenario creation to counter new threats, and aggregation of click rates require significant man-hours. Many existing services also lack flexibility in customization or make it difficult to review training results. Additional costs associated with advanced training or increased delivery volume are key factors preventing continuous implementation.

Introducing 'KIS MailMon': Streamlining Training and Management This webinar introduces 'KIS MailMon,' a spear-phishing training service designed to reduce costs and operational burdens while improving employee security awareness.
