Do you recognize if an email is really from your colleague?
Spear Phishing, as the name implies, is a targeted attack by cybercriminals on a particular audience. This could be a specific industry, department or target audience. The main goal is to get hold of valuable information, such as account or financial data
About the Spearphishing test
During the Spear Phishing test, we simulate a targeted cyber attack designed to evaluate an organization’s resilience to this specific type of threat. In doing so, we look together with you at which target group is high risk and adjust our campaign accordingly.
Unlike regular phishing tests, where general emails are sent to random recipients, with Spear Phishing we focus on specific target groups or departments within an organization.
The test involves sending customized, and prima facie legitimate emails aimed at obtaining sensitive information, such as login credentials, financial data, or eliciting unauthorized access to systems.
The Spear Phishing is also set up along with a campaign to train specific colleagues after the test on recognizing, and acting upon receiving a phishing email. This explains where they could have recognized the mail and how the organization-specific reporting process works.
This Spear Phishing test provides valuable insights into an organization’s cybersecurity improvement areas and enables them to raise awareness, mitigate risks and thus strengthen protection against this type of attack.
Specifically, what do you get:
- A turnkey campaign, customized to the context of the spear phishing target audience
- Identification of areas of improvement in employees’ knowledge regarding targeted attacks.
- Learning process for colleagues to recognize emails
- Learning process to go through the reporting process
- Detailed recommendations for improvement
