Cyber Awareness Platform

Building the Human Firewall

Companies invest a large amount of resource in setting up state-of-the-art defences at the technology and IT infrastructure level, yet they often neglect the biggest risk: their own employees. Any employee that doesn’t know how to effectively recognise cyberattacks is a potential zero-day vulnerability.

  • Over 90% of cyber security breaches are directly related to a human error

  • There is a cyber security attack every 8 minutes in Australia - and that’s only the attacks that are reported

  • Almost one in five Australian adults were victims of an online scam during the pandemic

By creating more cybersecurity awareness amongst your employees, and offering phishing awareness training, your organisation is much more secure.

It is accepted practice that the risks surrounding cyber learning need to be taught and tested on an ongoing basis, not just once or twice a year in a classroom style setting.  This is where Cyber Awareness Platforms shine.  They allow businesses to send out phishing simulations (emails/sms/voice) that mimic real-life threats in an attempt to train their employees what to look out for and how to deal with potential threats.

At Cyber Awareness Services, we are proud to be partnering with Phished.io. After extensive research we decided to partner with Phished.io because we believe they truly offer THE next-generation platform on the market today.

Why choose Phished over all the other platform providers?

Only solution offering fully automated and personalised phishing simulations

We’re glad you asked. We know everyone claims they have the best in class offering so let me explain why we DO offer THE next-level Cyber Awareness Platform in the market.

Nearly all Cyber Training Platforms out there do a great job at sending out phishing simulations, giving access to training information, and allowing reporting of both fake and real phishing attempts. They reduce your employee click rate, increase the number of reported real phishing attempts, and ultimately reduce your business risk.

The thing is, this should be your absolute minimum entry point. We go much further !  Our competitors know it and they are trying to catch up.

Today, we provide the only solution offering fully automated and personalised phishing simulations created for each individual in your organisation. Say good-bye to the long hours of administration time to research, design and build campaigns. We’ll do that for you - using the most up-to-date and realistic simulations AND targeted to your region!

Differentiators explained

Two very real differentiators for Phished are Personalisation and Automation which in turn lead to very real business benefits over other providers.  It’s the personalisation that allows us to automate the sending of simulated emails.  No more manual creation of campaigns.

 

Personalisation: Our platform uses sophisticated AI to learn the reading style, habits and actions taken by each individual employee in order to allocate an ‘awareness level’ to each person. The awareness level is re-evaluated every time a new simulated email is sent out and will go up or down depending on their actions. The following simulated email will be automatically selected and sent by the platform based on their unique capability and comfort level. 

You may have picked up on a further differentiator in that we send individual emails to each person, not a small subset of emails to the whole company.  Unlike other platforms, as Phished personalises emails, and draws on it’s entire library each time, it is unlikely that colleagues will get the same email.

It’s easy to see that this will not only lead to much better results and reduced business risk, it also reduces the real possibility of staff warning their colleagues to be on the lookout for an upcoming simulation.

 

Automation: Where other platforms require you to manually design/create each of your campaigns (every time you want to run them), we automate this for you.  You simply set the frequency of simulations (eg: every 3 days, 12 days, 30 days), let our Platform go to work, and monitor through your Dashboards and Reporting tool. This automation saves you days of time (cost), removes uncertainty of whether you’ve created the right campaigns AND results in even further reduced click rates and reduced risk to the company.

NOTE: This is very different from the automation and AI provided by other platforms which typically only automate suggested emails for your campaigns.  You will still have to manually create these campaigns EVERY time you want to retest your employees.

Resulting in real business benefits over all other providers

Reduced operational costs: As our service will automatically generate campaigns for you, the effort to design, build and run these campaigns is reduced from days to near-zero. Multiply this by the number of campaigns you run annually and you can quickly see the cost benefits.

Reduce risk to your business: Through personalisation and automation, your employee’s will become cyber aware more quickly and click rates will be greatly reduced. This all results in less chance of your company being breached through employee error.

Employee happiness through ease of use: We mentioned before that our platform will save you Administration and Campaign creation time. This is achieved through the automating of campaign design, build, generation and running. Nobody is maximising their value to the company when they spend time on admin tasks – and most people aren’t happy when all they do is admin. 

We will continue to lead the industry

“At Phished we focus on business value and automation, and our AI algorithms do just that. There are more than enough cyber awareness tools out there and we didn’t want to add to that noise. We make peoples work easier while at the same time we’re protecting their business.”

“Cyber awareness can suffer because it takes too much time and creativity to set up campaigns, too difficult to analyse campaigns, or admins feel that their efforts don’t yield the desired results. We deliver a proven return on investment.“

“Our software is front-running technology at this point and we obviously want to keep it out there. We keep innovating to make our solution better and more complete. We do this by working together with police forces, with ethical hackers and with law authorities.”

“We want to keep on doing what the actual cyber criminals do so you will see we are planning a lot of new additions as a response to the actual threats you will see in the real world.”

Our Pedigree

Phished are well respected by their 1000+ customers, by industry leaders, ethical hackers, their strong partner ecosystem, and even other platform providers who understand the leading edge.

Reduce employee risk down to less than 5% after just one year on the Phished platform.
