Phishing testing
Phishing emails present a real danger to business. They are commonly used to trick staff into revealing sensitive information or even their credentials. From experience we know that the use of periodic targeted phishing campaigns can anonymously test the outcomes of your cyber security awareness training. What’s more, testing provides a useful metric for cyber awareness planning as well as acting as a good reminder to staff that they need to stay on their toes.
Cyber Security Awareness Campaign
We believe that the best way to address the constantly evolving nature of cyber threats is to put an ongoing Cyber Security Awareness Campaign into place. An all-important mix of awareness training, phishing testing and white hat social engineering, this campaign will help keep your team up-to-date. We recommend a combination of cyber security briefings, a rolling phishing testing campaign and optional site inspections to keep everyone up to date and in the know. Importantly, it will also provide the metrics with which to measure changes in day-to-day behaviour.
