How to Protect Your Business From Phishing Attacks

July 28, 2026
5 min read

Phishing, the use of fake emails and messages to trick people into revealing passwords or clicking malicious links, is the way most business cyberattacks begin. The good news is that a few habits stop the large majority of them.

How to spot a phishing message

  • Urgency or pressure to act immediately.
  • A sender address that is slightly off from the real one.
  • Requests for passwords, payment changes, or gift cards.
  • Links that do not match where they claim to go.

Habits that stop phishing

Verify unusual requests by phone using a known number, never reuse passwords, turn on multi-factor authentication, and give staff a simple way to report suspicious messages. Training the team to pause on urgency is one of the cheapest and most effective defenses there is.

What Truscott recommends

Prevention lowers your risk and can improve your insurability. Pair good habits with coverage that responds when one slips through. Explore cyber insurance for Florida businesses or start a quote.
