Phishing Simulation for Employees

According to research, about 90% of all Security Breaches are caused by Human Error.* The vast majority of those are preventable with proper training, procedures, and vigilance.  Phishing prevention starts with education.That’s why we offer 3 basic tools to start any business toward a more secure future:
  1. Security Training for Employees
  2. Phishing Simulations
  3. Password Management Tool

Phishing Simulations give you, the employer, a sense of how employees are behaving in real-world simulations.  Would they open a fishy email?  How about a more legitimate-looking one?  Would they click a link?  Open an attachment?  Provide information? Find out how they do and then provide training through our Security Training for Employees to correct any issues.

What is Phishing Simulation?

Acumen is now offering Phishing Simulation to help you train your employees.  We send emails to your employees with simulated phishing attacks and track how they handle them.  Then, we report back to you so you can decide if further education is needed to keep your company secure by letting the employees do the phishing prevention.

With 60 Phishing Simulations ready to launch, we have a wide array of the types of emails that your employees see every day.  Here are just a few:

What to Expect

1. CHOOSE VIDEOS & SUBMIT EMPLOYEE LIST

If we don’t already have one, we will need a list of employees in a .csv file with these columns:

Don’t worry, we respect your privacy and will never share or sell your information. It will be used solely for this purpose.

2. PHISHING SIMULATION EMAILS ARE SENT TO EMPLOYEES

Here is a sample email:

3. EMPLOYEES TAKE (OR DON’T TAKE) ACTION

  1. If they click on the link in the email, that click is recorded.   If not, great!  They passed the simulation.
  2. If they do click the link, then they are taken to a form to fill out.  For example, an employee might see this form if they click on the Better Business Bureau email.

If they fill it out, that data is recorded.

4. TEST NOTICE IS SENT

If the employee fails the simulation, they receive this notice, along with a training video to help them avoid phishing scams in the future.

5. YOU GET PROGRESS REPORTS

We will send you results so you can see which of your employees has opened emails, clicked emails, and filled out forms.
