In our latest blog, we explain what quishing is, why it’s become a growing business risk, and how your team can spot suspicious QR code scams before they lead to data loss.

Free Assessment: What’s Hiding in your In Box?
Email attacks are getting smarter, and some threats can slip past even well-managed security tools. That’s why Global CTI is sharing access to a free Email Threat Scanner from our partner, Barracuda.
This quick, no-cost scan reviews Microsoft 365 inboxes to help identify hidden threats such as spear phishing, business email compromise, conversation hijacking, impersonation attempts, URL phishing, scams and extortion emails. It also provides a personalized report showing where threats were found, which users may be at higher risk, and which domains could be vulnerable to spoofing.
The scan takes about two minutes to set up, works with your existing email security, and has no impact on email performance. Click here to run the assessment.
Our team will be exhibiting at more than a dozen industry tradeshows and technology conferences this year. Stop by and say “hello”!
