Why security awareness training is not enough

Most organisations invest in security awareness: e-learning modules, phishing simulations, posters in the canteen. And that is a good start. But one crucial puzzle piece is still missing.

The gap in awareness programmes

Almost all awareness training focuses on email phishing and digital threats. But what happens when the phone rings? In 60 to 80% of our voice phishing simulations, sensitive information is shared.

Why phone-based tests are different

A phone call creates immediate pressure. There is no time to think, no colleague to consult, and no suspicious link to inspect. It is person against person, and attackers know exactly how to exploit that situation.

The solution

Regular voice phishing assessments are the only way to measure how resilient your organisation really is against telephone-based manipulation.

Curious how resilient your organisation is?

Plan an introduction meeting and discuss which assessment fits your risk profile.
