Security Awareness Training

Security Awareness Training and Phishing simulations go hand in hand. Phishing has become very sophisticated and almost undetectable, as criminals have found ways to make their E-mails as realistic as possible. Phishing simulations test employees on how they would respond to a real-life phishing attack.

We can send these mock attacks at staggered times, avoiding the “prairie dog effect” where employees warn one another of the email, for the best measurement of all employees’ awareness. We’ll track which employees have clicked on a phishing email, who has given away their password and who has ignored the email.

Once a learning gap is detected, we’ll deliver interactive educational videos to the most susceptible users. These easy-to-understand, short and visually engaging training videos include an online quiz to verify the employee’s retention of the training content. Training can be delivered regularly, to reinforce the importance of every employee’s role in protecting your business.
