Abstract
The increased sophistication and frequency of phishing attacks that target organizations necessitate a comprehensive cyber security strategy to handle phishing attacks from several perspectives, such as the detection of phishing and testing of users' awareness. Through a systematic review of 163 research articles, we analyzed the organization-oriented phishing research to categorize current research and identify future opportunities. We find that a notable number of studies concentrate on phishing detection and awareness while other layers of protection are overlooked, such as the mitigation of phishing. In addition, we draw attention to shortcomings and challenges. We believe that this article will provide opportunities for future research on phishing in organizations.
