To mitigate the risks associated with phishing attacks, the following actionable recommendations are proposed:

- **User Education and Training:** Implement regular training sessions to educate users about recognizing phishing emails and identifying suspicious links.

- **Email Authentication Protocols:** Employ advanced email authentication methods (such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC) to help prevent email spoofing.

- **Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):** Encourage or enforce the use of MFA for accounts, particularly for social media and financial services, to provide an additional layer of security.

- **Regular Security Audits:** Conduct periodic audits of email filtering systems to ensure they are up-to-date and effective against evolving phishing tactics.

- **Incident Response Planning:** Develop and maintain an incident response plan that includes clear protocols for addressing phishing attacks and communicating with affected users.



By implementing these strategies, organizations can better protect themselves and their users from the increasing threat of phishing attacks.
