Phishing is a common type of social engineering attack. It uses deception to manipulate individuals into taking an action or sharing information that they shouldn’t. A successful social engineering attack can lead to the disclosure of sensitive data or other information that can help attackers execute a more sophisticated attack upon your organisation.

Running a phishing simulation will help you better understand how prepared your organisation is to withstand this form of attack. It will also help to highlight any training gaps that need to be addressed. The results of a phishing simulation will raise the profile of cyber security within your organisation and help your people better understand the important role they play when it comes to security.
