Social engineering succeeds when a message looks like work: a supplier invoice, a principal’s urgent fee waiver, a CEO asking for gift cards. Technical filters help. The durable controls are: MFA, a callback rule for payment changes, and a culture where reporting a suspicious mail is praised.
Minimum anti-phishing operating rules
- MFA on email and admin consoles
- Payment and bank-detail changes require a second channel
- No passwords in chat
- A reported-phish path that does not punish the reporter
- Vendors do not get standing admin
Zero Trust is the architectural version of “do not trust the network just because someone is in the building” — explained simply.
