A recent report from the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) revealed phishing attacks for the first quarter of 2022 exceeded one million—the highest on APWG record. As attacks increase, it’s reasonable to expect targeted phishing attacks to increase as well. The U.S. government is defending itself against this growing threat via mandates and legislation designed to improve cybersecurity efforts. For example, The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recently released a Federal Zero Trust Strategy (OMB M-22-09), designed to support Executive Order 14028, "Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity." One of the main priorities outlined is the implementation of phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) capabilities for workforce and customer experiences. Federal agency CIOs are under pressure to ensure their cyber defenses meet this objective by the end of Fiscal Year 2024.
