What is a Controlled Phishing Simulation?

A Controlled Phishing Simulation is an educational campaign run by cyber security specialists to assess how aware employees are of social engineering attacks. In this kind of simulation, emails resembling real phishing attempts are sent in a safe, ethical and authorised manner.

The main goal is to identify risky behaviour, raise the security maturity of the team and reduce the likelihood of a successful attack.

Why hire this service?

Phishing attacks are one of the most common ways criminals get into corporate networks. By simulating those threats, your company can:

  • Identify employees susceptible to social engineering
  • Raise team awareness of safe corporate email practices
  • Reduce operational and financial risk
  • Meet compliance requirements and security best practices
  • Build an internal cyber security culture

How does the simulation work?

Each campaign is tailored to the profile of the company. The simulated emails are built with different levels of sophistication and sent at strategic times. After the campaign a full report is delivered, with open, click and interaction metrics, plus improvement recommendations.
