An email or link that looks like it came from a familiar provider may ask for a password or payment details. Phishing is this kind of scam: impersonating a familiar party to steal sensitive information. In the guide, the term appears alongside multi-factor authentication and encryption, without describing any tool as a guaranteed defense.

A sign-in email that looks like the usual tool
An employee receives an email that looks like the sign-in page for the automation tool. Instead of entering a password through the message, they go to the official website from a bookmark and check whether there is an alert about a sign-in attempt. They do not open the link in the email.
Relevant tools
- Postmark
- A service for sending operational email. Phishing is a scam targeting the recipient, not a capability of the tool. Check the official website for how to authenticate a sending domain.
What to check
- Signing in through a link in a message saves a step but gives the password to an impostor if the address is fake.
