Would Your Team Fall For It?
Today's phishing emails, fake vendor calls, and impersonation attempts are harder to spot than ever. In this session, IPC and Huntress break down real, modern attacks and the small tells that give them away.
Everyone who registers gets our Cybersecurity eBook, a full breakdown of how to protect your business.
Sixty minutes, six real attacks, and the eBook. We will email your join link before the session.
What you will walk away with
Every attack in this session works the same way. It arrives inside something your team already trusts: a live vendor thread, a familiar support process, a real login screen, a message from leadership. You will see six of them up close.
Stolen session tokens, device-code approvals, and commands the user pastes in themselves all sail past strong controls because nothing technically failed. A person approved it. You will learn exactly where authentication ends and judgment begins.
The gap between an organization that absorbs one of these and one that does not is rarely budget. It is whether people can name the warning signs, whether reporting takes seconds instead of a meeting, and whether someone is watching after the login.
The MSP side and the security side, together
One perspective from the team that runs these environments day to day, one from the security operation that watches them for a living.
Gene owns marketing strategy at IP Consulting, setting the go-to-market direction and positioning behind how IPC brings its security and managed IT services to market.
Andrew is a Technical Account Manager at Huntress, where he is the technical lead for the partners and customers running the Huntress platform.
Six real attacks. Would your team catch them?
Read each one the way an employee would at 4:45 on a Friday. Every setup below landed on a real organization, and in most cases somebody careful nearly missed it.
Generative AI ended the era of broken grammar. Today's lure is personalized per recipient, references a real project, and arrives as an ordinary attachment from a real business address. The tell: the writing is no longer the giveaway. The request is.
Same thread you have been on for weeks, same signature. The only change is the remittance detail on page two and a polite note about a bank consolidation. Their account was compromised three days ago. The tell: banking details change over a phone call to a number you already had, never over email.
A friendly voice that knows your manager's name, your ticket history, and the rollout you were told about last month. They need one approval to finish the migration before end of day. The tell: real support never needs your approval code. Hang up and call the number on your own intranet.
Someone clicked a shared document link, signed in, approved the push, and the file opened. Nothing failed, so nothing seemed wrong. The page in the middle kept the session token and is reading mail right now. The tell: a successful login is not proof of safety. Someone has to watch what happens after it.
A familiar checkbox cannot confirm you are human, so it offers a fix: copy this, press two keys, paste, done. The page even says thank you. An infostealer is already running. The tell: no legitimate website asks you to run something on your computer to prove you are human.
A short message from leadership, sent from a phone, asking for a wire before a closing. The tone is right, the urgency is believable, and the reply address is one character off. The tell: urgency plus secrecy plus money is the pattern. One out-of-band confirmation breaks it.
Attackers stopped breaking in. They sign in.
The median user clicks a phishing link 21 seconds after opening the email. The median user reports one 28 minutes later. That gap is where the whole attack happens.
Figures come from Huntress telemetry across roughly 4.6 million endpoints and 9.4 million identities, plus the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report.
How IPC and Huntress stop these attacks
Awareness alone leaves gaps and tooling alone leaves gaps. We close the session by showing how the pieces fit for a team without a security department of its own.
Security awareness training that builds the instinct to pause, plus a reporting path short enough that people use it. The goal is not a perfect score on a simulation. It is one employee who stops and asks.
Managed ITDR reads Microsoft 365 the way EDR reads a laptop: who signed in, from where, and what mailbox rule appeared afterward. That is how a stolen session gets caught after MFA has already passed.
Detection only matters if someone acts on it. The Huntress SOC investigates every alert around the clock and hands IPC a verified incident with the response already scoped, so an overnight intrusion is contained before morning.
