Phishing Email Testing Services
Test your employees' awareness and response to phishing attacks with our professional phishing email testing services.
Understanding Phishing Email Testing
Phishing email testing is a critical component of cybersecurity awareness training. It simulates real-world phishing attacks to assess how well your employees can identify and respond to malicious emails. Our comprehensive phishing testing services help organizations build a human firewall by training employees to recognize and report suspicious emails before they cause damage.
Why Phishing Testing is Critical
Phishing attacks are the most common vector for cyber attacks, accounting for over 90% of data breaches. Regular phishing email testing is essential for maintaining a strong security posture and protecting your organization from financial losses, data breaches, and reputational damage.
Phishing attacks are the leading cause of data breaches worldwide, with 91% of successful cyber attacks starting with a phishing email
The average cost of a phishing attack for a mid-sized company exceeds $1.6 million, including direct losses and recovery costs
Organizations that conduct regular phishing tests reduce their susceptibility to attacks by up to 70% within the first year
Employee training through phishing simulations is more effective than traditional security awareness training alone
Regulatory compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS) mandate regular security awareness training including phishing tests
Early detection of phishing attempts by trained employees can prevent ransomware attacks and business email compromise (BEC)

Common Phishing Attack Types
Our phishing simulations cover all major types of phishing attacks to ensure comprehensive training for your employees. We test against various attack vectors to identify vulnerabilities across different scenarios.
Email Phishing
Standard phishing emails that impersonate legitimate organizations, using urgency and social engineering to trick recipients into clicking malicious links or providing sensitive information.
Spear Phishing
Targeted attacks against specific individuals or departments, using personalized information to increase credibility and success rates. These are more sophisticated and harder to detect.
Whaling
High-value attacks targeting executives and senior management. These attacks use executive authority and urgency to bypass normal security protocols and authorization processes.
Business Email Compromise (BEC)
Sophisticated attacks that impersonate executives or business partners to initiate fraudulent wire transfers or access sensitive business information. These attacks cause significant financial losses.
Clone Phishing
Attacks that clone legitimate emails from trusted sources, replacing legitimate links or attachments with malicious ones. These are particularly effective because they appear to come from known contacts.
Vishing & Smishing
Voice phishing (vishing) and SMS phishing (smishing) attacks that use phone calls or text messages to trick victims. We test multi-channel attack awareness.
