OVERVIEW
Phishing simulation is a security awareness training tool that imitates real-life phishing attacks.
This allows organizations to test and enhance their employees’ awareness and response against phishing attacks.
Organizations can use phishing simulation tools to address areas where additional cybersecurity training is necessary.
Phishing simulations are significant in training employees to detect and report cyber threats like phishing, social engineering, and ransomware.
These practical phishing exercises in your security awareness training will foster resilience against cyber threats.
It will also build a security culture within your organization that values cybersecurity awareness.
Simulated phishing attacks, which mimic real phishing scams, are sent to your organization’s employees through Keepnet’s SaaS platform.
Employees who click on links in simulated email phishing campaigns enrolled in specific security awareness training.
During simulated phishing tests, organizations observe employee responses and deliver targeted phishing training to create a security culture.
Launching a phishing simulation campaign should be straightforward and effective.
Keepnet’s phishing simulation platform guarantees phishing delivery.
There are no whitelist challenges or false click issues with the platform.
Keepnet reduces time spent on phishing campaign creation by up to 95%.

Understanding different types of phishing attempts can help you stay protected. Here are some examples.
Phishing training exercises help employees learn how to recognize and avoid phishing emails. Here’s why implementing phishing simulations is important for your organization:
Phishing simulations provide significant benefits to an organization. They reduce the risk of data breaches and cyber-attacks since the employees learn in a safe environment how to defend against phishing scams.
Phishing tests also increase overall security awareness and help measure the effectiveness of existing security protocols. By regularly conducting phishing simulations, an organization can create a more secure and vigilant team, ultimately protecting themselves and their company against social engineering attacks.
Everyone with an email account is at risk of being phished, especially employees in organizations where they handle sensitive information or have access to company accounts. According to Keepnet’s latest report on voice phishing vulnerability, Customer Success departments were most vulnerable to voice phishing attacks in 2024.
If an employee clicks on a simulated phishing email, it becomes a valuable learning opportunity. Here’s what typically happens:
Phishing simulation training should cover the following elements:
An organization should conduct phishing simulations regularly to maintain high-security awareness and adapt to evolving phishing tactics. The frequency can vary depending on the organization’s needs, but it is recommended to run these attack simulations at least once a month to a few times a year.
Regular phishing simulations ensure that employees stay vigilant, improve their detection skills, and remain updated on the latest phishing threats, reducing the risk of successful cyber-attacks.
A recommended metric is the “Security Habit Index” (SHI). This index updates in real time based on actual user actions. Each correctly reported phishing email raises the SHI, while missed warnings or unsafe clicks reduce it. Data sources include user response times, the complexity of phishing samples, departmental performance comparisons, and exit interview feedback on the perceived security culture. A continuously updated SHI provides a precise measure of how well the organization is resisting phishing threats at any moment.
Keepnet leverages a behavioral psychology approach. Rather than generic “urgent” emails, it uses AI based, adaptive phishing simulations that incorporate each individual’s job role, current department events, or seasonal activities. This personalized method mirrors actual phishing attacks more closely and reveals vulnerabilities that generic simulations might miss. By tailoring lures to specific users, Keepnet provides deeper insights into real-world threats and user behavior.
One-time sessions instead of ongoing programs are a frequent misstep because periodic lectures or annual courses neglect the evolving nature of threats.
Relying on fear tactics is another pitfall, as overemphasis on negative outcomes can lead to fatigue or panic rather than productive caution. Ignoring repeated failure patterns also undermines progress; without targeted follow-up for departments or individuals that consistently fail simulations, those vulnerabilities remain.
Using one-size-fits-all materials creates unnecessary boredom for some and confusion for others by failing to tailor content to varying skill levels.
Finally, insufficient recognition of success can weaken motivation; employees who excel at spotting and reporting phishing attempts benefit from rewards and public acknowledgment, which sustains engagement over time.
Modern AI-driven systems analyze multiple factors in real time. Language processing models compare suspicious emails against a user’s historical writing style or normal communication patterns.
Domain fingerprinting checks sender IP details and domain reputation. Behavioral pattern analysis gauges how employees typically read and respond to incoming emails.
Real-time threat intelligence feeds identify new phishing kits and update algorithms almost instantly. When all indicators align too perfectly—or deviate significantly—machine learning flags the message as high-risk and alerts both users and security teams for further scrutiny.
