What is phishing?

Phishing is the most common tactic used by ransomware hackers in an attempt to breach your systems and launch malicious software on to your computers and systems. Phishing attacks are typically delivered in the form of an email, web chat, web advert or website designed to impersonate a real person and organisation.

What is phishing simulation?

Phishing simulation mimics the role of a someone trying to breach your security systems. We design and send a set of safe yet disguised emails to your employees to discover how susceptible your business is to a cyber-attack through lack of employee awareness. Phishing simulation works best with a user awareness training course, we recommend running both together to gain maximum benefits and understanding amongst your team.

How will phishing simulation benefit us?

Identifies the issues. Is there an internal awareness problem, a problem with first-line defence technology, internal policy issues or the lack of an incident response plan?

Increases specific awareness of the phishing threat. If employees fall for a simulated attack, they become more aware of the real threat and more receptive to the importance of IT security.

Delivers security training metrics. Simulated attacks allow you to track the effectiveness of your security training over time and to target the areas or people that most need additional training.

Building knowledge. Allows for continued learning over long periods of time through randomised scheduling.

Depth of Knowledge. Gives increased awareness of different forms of phishing such as spear phishing, whaling, spoofing and baiting.
