Overview

Despite advanced email filters and endpoint protections, phishing remains the #1 attack vector—because it targets the human firewall. Employees who lack recognition of sophisticated social engineering tactics inadvertently grant attackers access through a single click, often bypassing millions in security investments. Traditional annual training fails to build muscle memory, leaving organizations exposed to credential theft, ransomware, and CEO fraud. Our Phishing Simulations close this gap with hyper-realistic, scenario-based campaigns that transform your workforce from vulnerabilities into vigilant defenders.

What is Phishing Simulation & Awareness Training?

Phishing Simulation & Awareness Training is a proactive security program where we emulate real-world attacker tactics to send customized phishing emails, SMS (smishing), and voice calls (vishing) to your employees. By measuring click rates, credential submissions, and reporting behaviors, we identify high-risk users and deliver targeted training to reinforce secure habits, reducing susceptibility to modern social engineering attacks.

Key Focus Areas

We simulate diverse attack types aligned with MITRE ATT&CK Social Engineering (T1598) and FBI IC3 reported trends, including:

✅ Advanced Email Phishing

• Business Email Compromise (BEC), invoice fraud, and thread hijacking.
  ✅ SMS/WhatsApp Smishing

• Fake delivery alerts, HR policy updates, or MFA reset requests.
  ✅ Voice Phishing (Vishing)

• Caller ID spoofing, IT support scams, and urgent “executive” requests.
  ✅ Credential Harvesting

• Fake SSO portals, OAuth consent phishing, and password reset traps.
  ✅ Malware-Linked Campaigns

• Macro-enabled docs, ISO/IMG file drops, and QR code exploits.
  ✅ Industry-Specific Lures

• Healthcare (HIPAA violations), finance (wire transfer fraud), and SaaS (license renewal).

How We Execute Phishing Simulations

Our process balances realism with actionable learning:

1. Campaign Design Workshop

   • Define objectives (e.g., reduce click rates by 50%), compliance rules, and target departments.

2. Scenario Development

   • Craft tailored lures using current events (tax season, holidays) or internal jargon.

3. Multi-Channel Deployment

   • Launch emails, SMS, and calls via platforms like GoPhish, Evilginx, and Twilio.

4. Real-Time Behavior Tracking

   • Monitor opens, clicks, credential submissions, and report rates.

5. Instant Feedback & Training

   • Deliver micro-training modules to users who fail simulations (e.g., 5-minute videos).

6. Executive Reporting

   • Provide risk heatmaps, department benchmarks, and repeat offender analysis.

7. Baseline vs. Improvement Testing

   • Run follow-up campaigns to measure progress and adjust training focus.

8. Red Team Integration

   • Combine simulations with penetration testing (e.g., phished credentials used in live attacks).
