We offer a service in which we teach employees how phishing attacks work under real-life conditions. The advantage for business owners: the service takes very little time and is highly effective. In this article, we explain exactly how it works.
Phishing is one of the most common hacker attacks on companies. The number of serious incidents continues to rise because it is easier than ever to carry out: with just a little IT knowledge and financial resources, the required elements can be acquired and used. To effectively protect companies against such attacks, all employees should be aware of the dangers and risks. Trufflepig Forensics can help you with this.
The aim is to create awareness of phishing attacks within the company. This awareness of each individual employee is a collective protection against external threats. Trufflepig Forensics regularly assists companies after or during such attacks. Based on our findings and experience, we have developed two methods to protect your company from future attacks.
A realistic simulation of phishing attacks has proven to be very effective. Employees receive seemingly trustworthy e-mails from sources they know. Both modern phishing attack methods and actual work contacts are taken into account to make the trap as authentic as possible. If the recipient falls for the phishing attempt and clicks on the link, they are informed of the “successful” attack. In the case of a real attack, the attackers would now possibly already be in the IT system and can cause damage there unnoticed – for example, install ransomware or steal sensitive data. Experience has shown that this learning method is the most effective. Depending on the customer"s requirements, various attack scenarios can be planned and carried out for the individual company departments.
Alternatively, training courses can also be conducted to educate employees or to bring them up to date. Such phishing training is also a requirement for ISO/IEC 27001 certification. The instruction can be provided either on-site at the company or online. Trufflepig Forensics offers you field-tested solutions that require little time on your part. We take over the complete planning, implementation and evaluation of the awareness campaign. You will then receive a detailed report. This report can be used to determine which departments in your company have the greatest need for training. Through the campaign, your company benefits from sensitized and educated employees who are less vulnerable to phishing attacks and thus strengthen overall IT security.
