During a security awareness training session, you want to ensure employees are equipped to identify fraudulent emails attempting to obtain sensitive company data by impersonating a trusted source. Which type of security threat should the training primarily focus on?
The correct answer is "Phishing campaigns" because these attacks use emails or similar communications that masquerade as messages from a trusted organization or individual to trick recipients into divulging sensitive data. "Spear phishing" is a more narrowly targeted subset of phishing; "vishing" relies on voice calls, and "tailgating" involves unauthorized physical entry-neither matches the email-based scenario described.
