Simulated phishing attacks provide an effective way to help identify, track and measure weaknesses and improvements in your security program as they relate to phishing and social engineering. Phishing simulation can also help you identify which types of phishing attacks are most successful against your organization and which groups of employees to focus more on as part of your security awareness training efforts.
There are several ways to run phishing simulation exercises across your organization. One of the quickest and safest ways to do this is to use phishing simulation software and tools to send employees a simulated phishing email. However, there’s more to a fruitful phishing simulation exercise than just the tools that help you carry it out.
