Keypoints
- Phishing now mimics legitimate communication and can bypass traditional security checks.
- Phishing is typically the entry point for attacks that culminate in ransomware after reconnaissance.
- Modern email security must assess intent, context, and behavior rather than just technical indicators.
- Robust BCDR with clean backups enables recovery and reduces the likelihood of paying ransoms.
- Combining prevention and recovery strategies creates practical cyber resilience against evolving threats.
