Awareness and Response Testing
Evaluate how employees respond to phishing attempts, identifying both vulnerabilities and strengths in current security awareness training.
Education and Training Enhancement:
Utilize the results of the phishing campaigns to tailor security awareness training, making it more effective and relevant to the threats the organization faces.
Risk Reduction
Lower the organization's overall risk profile by reducing the likelihood of successful phishing attacks through improved employee awareness and behavior.
Compliance and Reporting
Support compliance with regulatory requirements related to cybersecurity training and incident response, providing detailed reporting for audit and compliance purposes.
Methodologies
Our Phishing engagements follow a structured methodology to ensure comprehensive and effective testing, including:
- Work with the organization to understand its environment, culture, and specific cybersecurity concerns. This phase includes setting objectives, defining scope, and establishing rules of engagement.
- Create customized phishing scenarios based on the most current and relevant threats. Scenarios are tailored to the organization’s specific risk profile and can range from basic phishing emails to more sophisticated spear-phishing and social engineering attacks.
- Launch the phishing campaign, closely monitoring engagement and responses. This phase includes tracking opens, clicks, and actions taken by employees, such as providing credentials or downloading attachments.
- Analyse the data collected during the campaign to identify trends, vulnerabilities, and areas for improvement. Provide a comprehensive report detailing the campaign’s effectiveness, employee behaviour patterns, and recommendations for enhancing cybersecurity awareness training.
- Conduct debriefing sessions with the organization to review campaign findings and discuss actionable steps for improvement. Offer targeted training sessions to address identified vulnerabilities and reinforce best practices.
