Phishing & Awareness Training

Phishing is a cyber threat where an attacker uses fake emails to lure the recipient into leaking sensitive information or even worse open up the door for a ransomware attack. Phishing emails are usually sent out on a large scale – spraying the internet. There are different types of phishing emails, common phishing, spear phishing, ransomware, and CEO/CFO phishing

Phishing simulations are fake phishing attacks that are used as training tools to educate users about how to identify and prevent real phishing attacks.

These simulations typically involve sending simulated phishing emails to a group of users and tracking how many of them fall for the fake attack by clicking on a link or entering their login credentials.

The goal of phishing simulations is to help users become more aware of the types of phishing attacks that they may encounter, as well as to teach them the strategies and tactics that they can use to protect themselves. This can include things like looking for clues that an email is fake, such as a suspicious sender address or poor grammar, as well as being cautious about clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources.

Phishing & Awareness Training is highly efficient and will help you build your own human firewall. You can follow how your users become more resilient by tracking reports and statistics.

Simulations should be carried out regularly to ensure your users are updated with the latest threats and keep their resilience high. We recommend performing at least 3 to 4 simulations per year.

You decide on a per simulation basis if you want to be able to track individual users and their behavior, or if this should be done on a group or organizational level.

Cyber security is not just a technical problem, it also has much to do with people and culture. Security awareness training is process of educating employees on how to best protect an organization's computer systems, along with its data, people and other assets, from internet-based threats or criminals.

Phishing is the attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and money), often for malicious reasons, by disguising as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Typically carried out by email spoofing or instant messaging, it may also be conducted via a web site.

Spear phishing is a sophisticated type of email phishing attack that targets specific people within an organization. To protect your organization against these attacks it’s important to educate your employees. One of the best ways to do this is to show them real examples of real spear phishing emails.
