As you know, phishing attacks are a real problem for businesses of all sizes. It can be something as simple as an email attachment that claims to be an invoice requiring payment, or a message that tricks you into entering your login details on a fake page. If you’re not careful, these can cause all sorts of issues like data breaches, financial loss, and a damaged reputation.
At INS Consulting, we take cyber-security seriously. We believe in taking a layered approach to protecting your business, which includes firewalls and anti-virus, as well as providing your employees with the right training. Traditionally we would hold cyber-security training twice a year for all staff members. However, this can become expensive, time-consuming, and often people don’t really pay attention. That’s why we’ve started using phishing simulations. This lets us test your employee’s security skills without any actual risk, then provide targeting training for those who really need it, while letting everyone else get back to work.
To run a Phishing Simulation, we pretend to be the cyber-criminals and send fake phishing emails to your staff. We can then find out where the weak points are and teach everyone how to spot a phishing email and report it right away. We’ll show them best practices like checking the sender’s email address, not clicking on suspicious links, and not downloading any malicious attachments. By doing this, everyone becomes more aware of the risks, and can help prevent any potential security breaches. It also helps us identify areas where we need to improve your security, so you’re better prepared for future attacks.
We’re happy to let you know that Microsoft has a free 90-day trial of Defender (as of February 2023). We can help you take advantage of this and explain how we can minimize costs throughout the year.
We would love the opportunity to discuss how a Phishing Simulation can benefit your business. Please let us know if you would be interested in scheduling a call to discuss further.
