OUR
APPROACH TO
SPEAR PHISHING
ATTACK
SIMULATIONS
STEP 1 - SCOPE DISCUSSIONS
Our team seeks formal authorization from company leadership or
the designated security team to conduct the simulation. Clearly
outline the objectives, scope, and expected outcomes of the
exercise. We set clear goals, such as measuring employees’
susceptibility to phishing attacks or assessing the effectiveness of
existing security awareness training.
STEP 2 - OSINT
We Research the targeted individuals and gather information from
public sources, such as social media profiles and company
websites, and various OSINT techniques to create personalized and
convincing phishing scenarios.
STEP 3 - CRAFTING THE
TRADECRAFT
Our Team develops realistic phishing emails that mimic common
social engineering techniques and appear legitimate. We pay
attention to details, such as sender names, email content, and
subject lines, to make the emails more convincing. Also, we embed
educational content or links within the phishing emails to provide
immediate feedback to employees who interact with the
simulation.
STEP 4 - MONITORING AND
FEEBACK
We Research the targeted individuals and gather information from
public sources, such as social media profiles and company
websites, and various OSINT techniques to create personalized and
convincing phishing scenarios.
STEP 5 - DEBRIEF SIMULATION
We conduct debriefing sessions with the participants to
engage in discussions about the simulation’s objectives, and
outcomes, and emphasize the significance of continuous
security awareness training.
STEP 6 -AWARENESS TRAINING
Using the insights from the simulation results, our team customizes
and strengthens the company’s security awareness training to
address the specific vulnerabilities identified during the exercise.
We conduct internal security awareness training sessions to ensure
employees are well-prepared in mitigating potential risks.
STEP 7 - REPEAT REGULARLY
Regularly our team conducts spear phishing simulations to
consistently reinforce security awareness among
employees, enabling them to stay vigilant against evolving
phishing techniques.
