An Employee Clicked the Link—What’s Next?
In today’s digital-first workplace, phishing attacks are not a matter of “if” but “when.” Despite frequent cybersecurity awareness training, it only takes one employee clicking a phishing link to expose an entire organization to risks such as data breaches, compromised credentials, or even ransomware attacks.
Once that link is clicked, panic often sets in—what now? Most businesses lack a clearly defined incident response workflow, which leads to delayed actions, loss of critical data, and increased downtime.
The right response in the first few minutes after an employee clicks a malicious link can make all the difference. A robust cyber incident response strategy must include:
Immediate identification and isolation of the affected device
Revocation and reset of compromised credentials
Threat detection across the network for insider threats
Detailed analysis of the phishing attempt
Phishing prevention training based on real incidents
Integration of email security protocols and endpoint protection strategies
By addressing the threat holistically, organizations can minimize damage, prevent future phishing attacks, and safeguard both data and reputation.
