Phishing simulation and reporting
Through the PhishMan phishing simulation and reporting service, users are trained to identify and protect themselves from harmful phishing messages.
Ask morePhishing is the act of sending malicious or fake emails to users in the hope of persuading them to open links or attachments, or provide user credentials to a fake website. This then allows access to details that should be private. Phishing is the most common form of cybercrime, and PhishMan is designed by us to meet the challenges it poses.
Simulation and reporting is based on increasing user awareness through simulated phishing messages. The service models itself on a solution from Cofense, which allows us to customize the way messages are simulated so that they are tailored to each client, while remaining totally safe. Our experts base the messages on monthly bulletins produced by the Cybersecurity Centre, which inform us of current events and global trends.
With our human intelligence, we are using our in-house knowledge to create PhishMan simulation messages that will be particularly pertinent to your business situation, and will help your employees become experts at identifying and reporting phishing.
Our service also provides detailed reports so you can analyze the results of our simulations. The reports show, for example, not just if but also how quickly users have clicked on links, opened message attachments, or provided login details to a fake website. These reports can then be used to identify those users who successfully reported phishing and, through positive feedback, encourage them to identify increasingly less obvious malicious messages. At the same time, the reports will of course identify those who fell for the scams, and you can provide them with further training and encourage them individually.
PhishMan consists of:
- A kick-off meeting to define the overall service, e.g., starting date for simulation messages and how the service will be implemented
- Quarterly progress reports, reviewing the results of the simulations which will inform how service is developed according to customer needs
- Creating and scheduling topical simulation messages
- Constant tailoring of the service to the customer’s evolving needs
- Training via positive encouragement and production of the relevant materials
