Regularly testing your team with the Phishing Simulation Tool will help reinforce best practices to avoid a phishing attack, while providing administrators with easy-to-understand metrics on employee improvement.
Phishing simulations are actual emails sent to employees that are meant to mimic real life, recent, and relevant phishing style attacks. These simulated phishing attacks help guard your business against social-engineering threats by training your employees to identify and report them.
Typically, a phishing simulation is paired with a point-of-failure training when someone clicks on a link or opens an attachment. These trainings commonly come in the form of a a quick quiz or short video meant to reinforce the practice of carefully reviewing emails and following proper protocol.
Phishing simulations are an excellent tool for organizations of all sizes. All it takes is one click on the wrong email to open the door for an attack. And since real phishing emails target everyone from interns to the CEO, phishing simulations should be sent to everyone in the organization.
The most common way cybercriminals steal company data and passwords is by sending emails to employees that appear trustworthy. A simple click can open the door for immediate and future cyberattacks. To create a strong cybersecurity culture, it is important to test and train employees regularly to stay vigilant and know how to spot potential phishing threats.
Regular, but unpredictable phishing simulation emails help safeguard employees from falling victim to an actual phishing attack. Defendify's Phishing Simulation Tool will send a monthly notice to administrators with details on what campaign will be launching, and when to expect the email to send. Then as planned, a phishing campaign is sent to those email users.
