Phishing Simulations.
Cyber threat groups are now leveraging AI to craft phishing scams that deliver a quantum shift in potency. Isn't it about time you started using
AI-driven simulations
to level the playing field.
The next generation of phishing attacks are on their way and your staff are going to need to be ready. Every single one of them.
Introduction
Phishing attacks have posed a major risk to UK pension schemes for many years. However, with the recent marked advances in AI, a burgeoning cybercrime-as-a-service industry (giddy on the lack of barriers to entry), and a well-trodden multi-tiered extortion strategy that not even the best data backup and disaster recovery programmes can fully mitigate, the risks posed by these email-based social engineering attacks need to be reassessed.
Trustee boards must therefore ensure that not only are arrangements in place for regular phishing simulations that mimic this new generation of highly convincing AI-generated scams, but they are also using the data to identify medium-risk and high-risk individuals and providing these groups with the appropriate blend of carrots and sticks (we don't subscribe to a 'carrot only' approach).
AI-powered phishing simulations should go beyond simply educating your staff and driving improvements in their cyber habits, they should markedly reduce 'dupe rates', improve cyber attitudes, and in combination with other technical controls, robustly mitigate this perennial cyber threat.
Traditional cyber security training improves awareness. When you want to improve cyber habits, use a simulation.
Phishing Simulation Services
Phishing simulation services that Cyserri offer include:​
​
-
Phishing simulation development
-
Phishing simulation evaluation and report
-
Phishing mitigation roadmap development
-
Phishing simulation campaign development
​
We can also provide options around smishing (via SMS) and vishing (voice based) simulations.
​
When evaluating a prospective phishing simulation partner, make sure to check whether their AI-driven simulations use hard-to-detect instruction-based scenarios such as click-fix, search-peek and please-share, rather than just traditional dodgy-link and infected-file approaches.
For maximum impact, make sure to combine your phishing simulation with data analysis and targeted training.
Benefits of our simulations
Our phishing simulation services:
​
-
deliver striking improvements in both cyber awareness and cyber habits
-
provide assurance to trustee boards, sponsors, cyber insurance firms and other stakeholders that the 'human layer' is being appropriately mitigated
-
provide inciteful metrics that enable your trustee board to both monitor campaign effectiveness and make informed decisions about changes in strategy
-
enable high-risk staff to be identified and micro-training to be automatically delivered that addresses their knowledge gaps
-
can reduce cyber insurance premiums and also improve the likelihood of a claim being successful
