Phishing simulation

If your team were sent a suspicious link, would they click it?

Phishing is one of the biggest threats to your business’s cyber security. In case you’re not familiar with what phishing is, it’s a type of cyberattack sent by hackers in the form of an email where they try to pose as someone you know, such as your bank or a supplier. They aim to get you or your team to click on a link that allows them to install malicious software or enter your network where they encrypt your data holding it ransom in exchange for money.

It’s pretty scary. 

This is exactly why phishing training is so important. If your team were sent a link right now, would they click it? You can find out by using a phishing simulator, which sends a realistic-looking email to your staff with hidden clues. You’ll be able to see which staff delete/mark as spam or click the link. 

And it’s not about catching your team out and disciplining them, because it’s really easy to be fooled by phishing attempts. This is about making sure everyone in your team has the cyber security training they need. After all your staff is your business’s first line of defence. If their cyber vigilance is up to date, then you can bet your business will be a lot more protected.
