Phishing Simulations: How Secure Is Your Company Really?
Cybercriminals deliberately exploit human error – one careless click on a link can expose an entire company to attack. Phishing emails are particularly dangerous: they look deceptively real and often pressure employees into taking quick actions, such as entering login details or opening an attachment.
But how well is your team prepared for such attacks?
Why phishing is a serious risk
Phishing is one of the greatest threats to businesses. Attacks strike in the middle of the workday – when employees are focused on their next meeting or a looming deadline. At that moment, what looks like a harmless email can cause devastating consequences. This makes it essential for employees to recognize phishing attempts immediately and respond appropriately.
How companies can protect their employees
Cyberattacks are the No. 1 risk for businesses. When faced with a phishing email, employees must react correctly and never follow the instructions blindly.
Nothing protects better against cybercrime than training your workforce.
Quick tips for staying safe:
- Pause and think before you react
- Check suspicious emails carefully: Who is the sender? Where does the link lead?
- When in doubt, contact the sender through another channel and verify the request
The best protection: employee training
Technical safeguards are important—but they can’t prevent human error. The most effective defense against phishing is raising awareness. Employees must learn how to identify suspicious emails and handle them correctly. That’s why phishing simulations have become a core element of modern IT security.
Our solution: phishing simulations in real work environments
We test how your employees respond to phishing attempts under real conditions. Simulated phishing emails are sent directly to your team’s inboxes. You receive a transparent report showing how often dangerous attachments were opened or data was shared. This makes security awareness measurable.
Your benefits:
- Learn how often dangerous links or attachments are opened
- Receive a detailed risk report with actionable recommendations
- Strengthen your team’s long-term vigilance against phishing
Our phishing simulations are powered by our partner G DATA, with years of expertise in threat intelligence and red teaming. Combined with targeted security awareness training, they provide an effective measure to safeguard your company against cyberattacks.
