This section focuses on the Email Phishing simulation, part of the Phishy Simulation Module, which trains employees on recognizing and responding to email-based phishing threats.

Introduction

The Phishy Simulation Module is designed to help organizations test and enhance their employees’ responses to various types of phishing attacks. Email phishing, one of the most common forms of cyber threats, uses deceptive emails to extract sensitive information from the recipients.

Email Phishing Simulation

Email Phishing is a critical part of our simulation training that involves:

  • Realistic Email Scenarios: Employees receive emails that mimic real phishing attempts to provide hands-on experience.
  • Customized Threats: Each simulation can be tailored to reflect the specific threats that an organization might face.
  • Immediate Feedback: Participants receive immediate feedback on their actions to help them learn from their mistakes and improve their awareness.

Getting Started with Email Phishing Campaigns

To create an effective Email Phishing campaign, follow these steps:

  1. Campaign: Define the objectives and scope of your phishing simulation campaign.
  2. SMTP Profile Configuration: Set up the SMTP server that will send the fake phishing emails.
  3. Email Template: Develop realistic email templates that mimic the phishing styles your organization is likely to encounter.
  4. Landing Page: Design landing pages that will capture the actions taken by employees during the simulation.
  5. Target Group: Identify the employee groups who will participate in the simulation.
