Has anyone conquered yet how to have (example) their president send out an email with a link in it and have folks comfortable that it is not a phishing scheme?
I guess I'm going the other way: teach the marketing and communications folk not to use clickable links in email. At a minimum, no clickable link may lead to a page with a userid/password prompt. A clickable link may only lead to an information page. We've thought about the "golden site" idea but haven't found a good solution. -- Cheers, Willis Marti Director & CISO Networking and Information Security Texas A&M University
