What is the Email Threat Detection for High-Compliance course about?

Sophisticated phishing attempts now mimic trusted financial platforms like PayPal with near-perfect branding, domain mimicry, and urgency triggers. These aren't bulk scams, they're targeted, credible, and increasingly common in high-compliance environments where one misstep triggers downstream risk. Traditional training fails because it's generic. What's needed is a repeatable, team-wide method to detect subtle red flags before damage occurs.
