What is a phishing attack simulation?

A phishing attack simulation is a controlled exercise conducted by an organisation to test and improve its employees' ability to recognise and respond to phishing attacks. These simulations are designed to mimic real-world phishing attacks, where attackers send fraudulent emails or messages to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords or financial details.

In today’s cybersecurity landscape where attackers are more innovative and persistent, an attack simulation helps to strengthen one of your weakest links, your people, in effectively defending your security perimeter against cyber threats.
