Exam CISA topic 1 question 1158 discussion

The most likely reason for the decline in the success rate of phishing attacks, despite an increase in their frequency, is the implementation of a security awareness program. Phishing attacks often rely on tricking individuals into divulging sensitive information or clicking on malicious links. A well-implemented security awareness program educates users about the risks of phishing, teaches them how to recognize phishing attempts, and emphasizes the importance of security best practices. As a result, employees become more vigilant and less susceptible to falling for phishing scams, leading to a decrease in the success rate of such attacks.
