A simulated phishing campaign is a security exercise in which a company sends fake phishing emails to employees to test their ability to recognize and avoid phishing attacks. In this case, 50 employees clicked on a phishing link, which indicates a potential security risk. By implementing a simulated phishing campaign: Identifies Vulnerable Employees – The company can track which employees fall for phishing attempts and need additional training. Raises Awareness – Employees experience a realistic phishing scenario and learn from their mistakes without real consequences. Measures Security Posture – The company can evaluate how often employees are clicking on malicious links and adjust security policies accordingly. Reinforces Training – Employees who fail the phishing test can be redirected to security awareness training, improving their ability to spot real threats. Reduces Future Risk – Regular phishing simulations help employees develop better security habits, reducing the likelihood of falling for real phishing attacks.
