Phishing Exercises

Simulated phishing campaigns to test and train employee awareness and measure click-through rates.

What It Is

Phishing exercises simulate real-world social engineering attacks against your employees to measure awareness and identify training gaps. We design and execute realistic phishing campaigns — from basic credential harvesting to sophisticated spear-phishing scenarios — and track who clicks, who reports, and who submits credentials.

Results feed directly into targeted security awareness training, helping you build a human firewall that complements your technical controls. Regular phishing exercises are also a requirement for many compliance frameworks.
