How Phishing Simulation Works
Phishing attacks can be one of the most dangerous cyber threats facing any organizations. With ever increasing numbers and sophistication of attacks, the danger is also increasing every day. Even the most sophisticated cyber security software and hardware isn’t able to identify and block all phishing attacks, preventing them from reaching your employees. Aspire phishing simulation tool processes user-reported phishing and other suspicious emails by grouping and categorizing emails based on rules, tags, and actions.
Employee cyber security awareness training is a key requirement for an effective information security protection. Aspire developed an information security awareness curriculum that is easy-to-understand and does not affect with employee’s daily activities. Through our phishing simulation software and our security awareness training, your organizations will have an easy-to-use platform for employees.
Phishing Simulations, Testing & Training
Aspire's managed phishing service, a team of experts is working on creating and running phishing simulation tests and cybersecurity training courses. Notify employees using phishing templates and training tools, or create your own templates to prepare your employees for company threats. Some employees may need a more personalized attack vector, such as B. Use of job title or department.
As technology advances, cybercriminals are adapting phishing attacks to make it harder for machines and people to identify malicious messages. Traditional phishing emails target hundreds or thousands of recipients at the same time. These are designed to trick users into clicking on URLs to web pages that ask for personal information. Spear phishing emails are targeted and personal. Attackers pretend to know the victim by pretending to be a trusted source, ensuring that an unsuspecting user trusts the victim when they request sensitive information. Both types of attacks have important indicators that users can be aware of to determine if an email is genuine or fraudulent.
Assess Vulnerability & Train Employees
As the campaign runs, our phishing service tracks each and every phishing message so you can quickly identify vulnerable users and immediately:
- Alert them to their mistake and the potential danger
- Redirect at-risk users to a targeted training session
- Show how they could have identified the phishing attack
For those organizations that prefer not to let employees know they were phished, that is an option too.
Launch Phishing Campaigns and Training to Those Employees Who Need it the Most
It's time to start planning your campaign. Give the campaign a name and a description, choose start and end dates, choose your email message and landing page templates, and then decide on your target demographic (s).
It's that simple and quick. Campaign execution is automatic once you start a phishing program, and you can check the results on the phishing dashboard right away. You have complete control over when and how campaigns are launched.
Simulated phishing efforts, such as mass phishing, spear phishing, and whaling, reinforce staff training, help you understand your own risk, and enhance workforce resiliency.
Organizational Resistance
Phishing simulation should be done regularly and often.Aspire phishing simulation service allows you to develop targeted phishing campaigns, schedule and test repeatedly. Its powerful Dashboard enables you quickly track how your campaigns are doing and assess whether you are reducing your organizational risk by building user resistance.
Organizational inertia is the tendency for an organization as a whole to resist change and want to maintain the status quo. Companies that suffer from inertia become inflexible and can’t adapt to environmental or internal demands for change. Some of the signs that organizational inertia is in play are through internal power struggles, poor decision-making processes and bureaucratic organizational structures.
Organizational cultures and reward systems can foster resistance or acceptance of change. A culture that promotes high levels of trust and cooperation lays the foundation for employees and their acceptance and instigation of change. If employees are punished for honest mistakes, if new ideas aren’t rewarded, and managers aren’t prepared for daily issues with proper training, then that organization is ripe for change resistance.
