Challenges
The ever-present phishing threat continues to be a major breach entry point, even with significant investments in email security. Employees are the first line of defense against such attacks, making it crucial to regularly test their alertness and awareness of emerging phishing techniques through efficient pre-emptive measures.
However, running phishing awareness campaigns is resource intensive. It requires creating production-safe inactive payloads to gauge the potential reach of successfully luring an employee, tracking phishing email success rates and attribution, crafting a variety of high-quality, well-designed phishing emails , and, when necessary, fake landing pages.
Due to limited resources, many organizations opt to rely on annual phishing awareness training instead of addressing these challenges head-on.
