PHISHING ATTACK SIMULATION

Enhance your Cyber Resilience against threats by reducing your "people" exposure to phishing attacks.

OVERVIEW

Measure and enhance People's resilience againing Phishing

Phishing simulations mimic genuine phishing emails that organizations can send to employees to evaluate online behavior and gauge knowledge levels concerning phishing attacks. These emails replicate cyber threats professionals may encounter in their daily routines, both within and outside of work hours.

What is the purpose of Phishing Simulation

Phishing simulations are essential for ensuring that your employees can identify and evade cyber threats such as phishing, social engineering, ransomware, and more. These hands-on phishing tests can be integrated into any security awareness training initiative, streamlining the effort to minimize risk, fortify resilience against threats, and foster a security-conscious organizational culture.

Why is it important?

Phishing simulations enrich every security awareness training regimen by instructing employees on recognizing and circumventing phishing assaults within a secure setting. The effectiveness of simulations is heightened when they replicate authentic cyber threats users might face. Incorporating the latest phishing dangers into your security awareness training initiative ensures your entire team stays abreast of the most current information.

How does it work?

Your organization’s employees receive simulated phishing attacks that closely resemble real-world scams through a SaaS solution, such as the one provided by Satius Security. Individuals who click on the malicious link or would have compromised sensitive information if the phishing email were genuine do not pass the test. Organizations oversee employee conduct during phishing simulations by monitoring their responses and assessing risk levels accordingly.

It is recommended that organizations conduct these exercises between 4 and 10 times per year to achieve an optimal click rate reduction.

Are Phishing Simulations effective?

According to the 2022 Gone Phishing Tournament, Roughly 1 in 10 users click on the link in phishing emails. Historically, organizations that perform more phishing simulations annually find it easier to reduce their click rates below this standard. When coupled with comprehensive security awareness training, the Satius Security phishing simulation solution enhances essential threat awareness while ensuring administrative convenience.

What Types of Phishing we cover?

Of the hundreds of the known phishing scams that exist, here are the four most common types we cover:

Email

In email phishing attacks, urgency is a key tactic. Scammers distribute convincing emails to numerous recipients, urging them to change passwords or update personal and account information.

Smishing

This phishing method closely mimics email-based phishing. Hackers attempt to obtain confidential information from individuals by sending text messages that demand a response or additional action. In some cases, if the individual does not comply, the perpetrators may resort to threats.

Spear Phishing

This strategy involves utilizing emails to launch an attack targeting a specific individual or organization. The perpetrator gathers personal details about their target and employs them to craft a customized and credible email.

CEO Fraud

Cyber criminals send emails pretending to be a C-level executive or simply a colleague, usually requesting a fund transfer or tax information.

SIMULATION PROCESS

Our Methodology

Satius Security attempts to build and execute a Phishing Simulation as realistically as possible to real attacks by mimicking the same process a real attacker takes. From reconnaissance phase to launching the campaign.

01

Reconnaissance

During this stage, we thoroughly examine your organization's online footprint to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities. By scrutinizing publicly accessible data and online behaviors, we acquire a deep understanding of your weak points. This enables us to customize our phishing simulations to replicate genuine threats, effectively testing your defenses and offering practical insights to enhance your cybersecurity posture.

02

Design scenarios

We initiate our design process by assessing your organization's environment. Subsequently, we develop customized phishing scenarios that replicate real-world attacks. Through the creation of persuasive emails, spoofed websites, and the application of social engineering tactics, we simulate authentic threats. This iterative method guarantees ongoing enhancement through feedback and the identification of emerging threats, bolstering your organization's ability to withstand cyber attacks.

03

Execute campaign

During this stage, we implement carefully orchestrated phishing campaigns utilizing sophisticated tools and methodologies. We distribute simulated phishing emails to your employees, closely monitoring their reactions and engagements.

Our focus is on realism and effectiveness. Through strategic timing and coordination, we aim to maximize employee engagement, providing valuable insights into your organization's ability to detect and respond to phishing attempts.

04

Report results

During the reporting phase, we examine the data gathered throughout the campaign to furnish actionable insights. This includes delivering a thorough summary of essential metrics such as click rates, response rates, and areas of vulnerability.

These insights enable you to understand the effectiveness of your organization's current security measures and identify areas for improvement.
