What is phishing simulation?

Phishing simulation is a program that businesses can use to send realistic phishing email to employees in order to gauge their awareness of attacks and what to do with phishing emails when they receive them. Phishing simulation is typically used in coordination with phishing training that educates employees about how these attacks work and how to avoid them.

Why do I need phishing simulation?

An effective phishing simulation program can help to significantly improve your employee's awareness of phishing threats and increase the likelihood that they will respond correctly when they encounter a suspicious email.

FAQs

ENQUIRE

Cyber criminals are counting on you and your employees to

take the bait.

Phishing simulation guards your business against social engineering threats by training your employees to identify and report them. Cyber criminals use phishing, the fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information such as credit card details and login credentials, by disguising as a trustworthy organisation or a reputable person in an email communication.

Phishing emails are also used to distribute malware and spyware through links or attachments that can steal information and perform other malicious tasks.

Teach your staff to identify and respond to potential security risks with our Phishing Simulations.

Phishing simulation training is one of the cyber security measures being used to help stop attempted phishing incidents. Phishing is popular with cyber criminals because it enables them to steal financial and personal information by exploiting human behaviour.

Due to the fact that just one mistake by one employee clicking on one link could result in fraud, a data breach, huge costs and damage the company’s reputation, user security awareness is now widespread; employers are educating workers about the latest attack techniques and testing them with phishing simulations to help protect their businesses against cyber crimes.
