Make the click harder to get

A baseline of who would click, then training that changes it - including the lures AI now makes cheap.

Phishing Simulation & Security Awareness Training

People are the weakest link in any organisation's cybersecurity infrastructure. Employee awareness training, equipped with real-time phishing simulation exercises, gives your workforce the insight to make well-informed decisions and protects your organisation against potential threats. Get your employees future ready with security awareness training.

Our team of experts conducts cyber security awareness training alongside phishing simulations to analyse and score the cyber readiness of your workforce. Many of our tech-forward clients use these services as part of new employee onboarding, testing awareness and vigilance from day one. We are experts in getting your workforce cyber ready for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

What is phishing simulation?

Phishing simulation is a controlled exercise in which realistic but harmless phishing emails are sent to your employees to measure how many recognise them, how many click, and how many report the attempt. It's a measurement and training tool rather than a test to be passed - the value is in establishing a baseline, delivering targeted training to those who need it, and tracking improvement over time.

Related attack types are covered the same way: phishing is the practice of using deception to get someone to reveal personal, sensitive or confidential information; vishing attempts the same over the phone; and mishing does it via SMS and mobile messaging.

Phishing tools and phishing prevention: where simulation fits

Organisations searching for phishing tools are usually after one of two things: defensive tooling that filters malicious mail before it lands, or simulation platforms that test whether employees would fall for it. Both matter, and they solve different halves of the same problem. Technical phishing prevention (filtering, SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication, link rewriting and attachment sandboxing) stops the large majority of attempts, and we deliver that through our Email Security service.

But no filter catches everything, and the messages that get through are by definition the most convincing ones. That's where simulation and training earn their place: they address the attempts your technical controls miss. The best phishing tools in either category are the ones that are actively maintained rather than deployed once, which is why we run both as ongoing services rather than one-off projects.
