Today's Air Force networks are under frequent attack. One of the most pernicious threats is a sophisticated phishing attack that can lead to complete network penetration. Once an adversary has gained network entry, they are in a position to exfiltrate sensitive data or pursue even more active forms of sabotage. However, there are promising technical advances proposed in current research can help mitigate the threat. Also, user education will continue to play an important role to increase effectiveness in AF defenses. This paper reviews and recommends the most promising suggestions for adaptation and application in today's AF networks.
