Phishing Awareness & Simulation Training
91% of cyberattacks start with a phishing email. Our hands-on simulation-based training teaches employees to recognize, report, and respond, with measurable results from day one.
Phishing Training Curriculum
Email Phishing Recognition
Identifying phishing indicators: sender spoofing, suspicious URLs, urgency tactics, brand impersonation, and attachment risks. Real-world examples from recent campaigns.
Spear Phishing & Whaling
Targeted attacks against specific individuals and executives. How attackers research victims, craft personalized lures, and exploit organizational hierarchies.
Smishing & Vishing
SMS phishing (smishing) and voice phishing (vishing) techniques. Package delivery scams, bank impersonation, IT support fraud, and caller ID spoofing.
Business Email Compromise
CEO fraud, invoice manipulation, payroll diversion, and attorney impersonation. How BEC differs from standard phishing and why it causes the largest financial losses.
Real vs. Fake Analysis
Hands-on exercises comparing legitimate and fraudulent communications. Building systematic verification habits: hovering over links, checking headers, verifying requests through secondary channels.
Reporting Procedures
How to report suspected phishing: one-click reporting buttons, IT security escalation, preserving evidence, and what happens after you report. Making reporting easy and rewarded.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do phishing simulations work?
We send realistic but safe phishing emails to your employees at random intervals. Employees who click the link see an immediate training moment explaining what they missed. Those who report it correctly get positive reinforcement. Results are tracked in a dashboard showing improvement over time.
How realistic are the simulated phishing emails?
Very realistic. We use techniques that actual attackers employ, brand impersonation, urgency, authority, and personalization. Templates are continuously updated based on real-world phishing campaigns. The goal is to prepare employees for real attacks, not trick them with unrealistic tests.
What metrics do you track?
Click rate, report rate, time-to-report, susceptibility by department, repeat clickers, improvement trends over time, and comparison against industry benchmarks. Monthly reports give you actionable insights for targeted interventions.
How often should simulations run?
We recommend monthly simulations with varying difficulty levels. New employees receive their first simulation within their first month. Frequency can be adjusted based on results, departments with higher click rates may receive more frequent simulations.
What happens when employees click on simulated phishing?
Employees see an immediate, non-punitive training page explaining the phishing indicators they missed. The goal is education, not punishment. Persistent clickers receive additional one-on-one training. This approach builds trust and encourages reporting.
Are simulations available in both English and Croatian?
Yes. All simulation templates, training content, and reporting dashboards are available in both English and Croatian. We can also create custom templates that match communications employees typically receive in your organization.
