Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know about Phishing Campaigns

What are phishing campaigns and why are they important for our organization?

Phishing campaigns are simulated social engineering attacks designed to test how employees react to attempts to trick them into taking dangerous actions. They are important for organizations to assess the level of security awareness among employees and identify areas that require additional training. With phishing attacks on the rise, such campaigns help strengthen an organization's defenses against real threats.

How can phishing campaigns help raise awareness among our employees?

Simulated phishing campaigns provide hands-on experience that increases employees' alertness to potential threats. After the campaign, employees receive feedback, allowing them to understand better the techniques used by cybercriminals. This translates into increased awareness and the ability to recognize attempted attacks in the future, which is key to protecting the organization's data and resources.

What is the process of running simulated phishing campaigns?

The process begins with understanding the specifics of your organization, including its structure and potential threats. We then prepare personalized phishing messages sent to selected employee groups. After the campaign, we analyze the results, identifying how many employees opened the message, clicked on the link or provided credentials. Based on this data, we prepare a report and recommendations for further educational activities.

Will employees be informed before or after the phishing campaign?

Employees are usually not informed before the campaign to get realistic results. However, after the campaign, we conduct information sessions or training sessions to discuss the results and educate employees on how to recognize phishing attacks. This approach allows us to effectively raise awareness without affecting the authenticity of the test.

Can phishing campaigns affect the morale or trust of our employees?

If the campaigns are conducted responsibly and with respect for employees, they should not negatively affect morale or trust. The key is to provide constructive feedback after the campaign and focus on education rather than punishment. In this way, employees see campaigns as a development tool rather than a form of control.

How do you measure the effectiveness of phishing campaigns?

We evaluate the effectiveness of campaigns by analyzing key indicators, such as the number of employees who opened the message, clicked on the links in it or provided credentials. We also monitor how quickly and how many people report suspicious messages to the security department. This information allows us to assess employees' awareness level and the effectiveness of educational efforts to date.

Do you offer training for employees after a phishing campaign?

Yes, we can provide dedicated training for employees after a campaign. These trainings focus on discussing the results of the campaign, education on the methods used by cyber criminals and practical tips on how to recognize and respond to suspicious messages. The goal is to strengthen the security culture in the organization.

Do you offer reports and recommendations after a phishing campaign?

Yes, after the campaign is completed, we provide a detailed report containing an analysis of the results, conclusions and recommendations for further action. The report includes information on the effectiveness of the campaign, identification of areas for improvement, and suggestions for training and educational initiatives. Our goal is to ensure that your organization can effectively use this information to strengthen its security.
