In addition to our security awareness training, our team will simulate real-world tactics used by cybercriminals. Phishing and spear-phishing attacks are responsible for compromising far too many businesses. With targeted attacks on employees becoming increasingly common, it’s essential to ensure that your entire team knows how to recognise and report phishing emails.
Simulated Phishing Training
How Phishing Works
Attackers send fraudulent communications that appear to come from reputable sources. These messages typically urge recipients to take immediate action, such as updating account information or confirming a password. By clicking on provided links or downloading attachments, victims may unknowingly provide access to their personal information or install malware on their devices.
Common Signs of Phishing Attempts
Common signs of phishing attempts include messages that use urgent or threatening language to create a sense of panic. They often lack personalisation, starting with generic greetings like “Dear Customer.” Such emails may contain suspicious links or attachments prompting you to click or download. Additionally, there are inconsistencies in email addresses or URLs, such as slight misspellings or unusual domain names.
What is Spear Phishing
Spear phishing is a targeted form of phishing where attackers focus on a specific individual or organisation. They gather personal information about the target to craft convincing messages that appear to come from a trusted source. The goal is to trick the recipient into revealing sensitive data or installing malware, making it more effective than generic phishing attempts.
Hows does the training work?
Phishing training educates individuals on recognising and avoiding phishing attacks. It involves simulated phishing emails sent to employees to assess their responses. After the simulations, participants receive feedback and educational resources that teach them how to identify suspicious messages, avoid clicking on malicious links or attachments, and report potential threats to the appropriate security personnel.
