Phishing Attack Simulation is a proactive cybersecurity strategy that involves sending simulated phishing emails to employees to test their awareness and response to social engineering attacks. These simulations are crafted to mimic real-world phishing scenarios—without the actual risk.
The goal is to:
Define objectives (e.g., credential capture, attachment click, link clicks).
Tailor scenarios based on industry-specific threats and past incidents.
Provide real-time feedback after interaction.
Assign follow-up microlearning modules or videos.
Target based on department, seniority, or previous susceptibility.
Use adaptive difficulty to match user maturity level.
Track open rates, click rates, credential submissions, and reporting.
Identify who interacted and how they responded to the phishing attempt.
Use real-world tactics like:
Detailed dashboards and reports showing:
- Empowers users to identify suspicious emails, links, and attachments.
- Reduces click-through rates on actual phishing attacks.
- Promotes a proactive mindset toward cybersecurity at all levels.
- Makes users the first line of defense, not the weakest link.
- Links theoretical training with practical experience.
- Reinforces learning through hands-on exposure and correction.
- Decreases the likelihood of credential theft and unauthorized access.
- Helps prevent malware infections through malicious attachments or links.
- Provides visibility into which teams or individuals are at greatest risk.
- Allows for focused, data-driven improvements in training.
- Supports awareness initiatives required by:
Over 90% of successful cyber attacks begin with phishing. Simulating attacks helps organizations prepare their users before the real ones hit.
From interns to executives, phishing simulations help ensure everyone is accountable for cybersecurity.
Simulations are based on actual tactics used by cybercriminals. If users can spot these in simulation, they're more likely to detect real threats.
Even with advanced email filtering and endpoint protection, phishing can bypass controls. Simulations fill the human gap.
