Bij de training wordt de deelnemers niet alleen geleerd dat zij zorgvuldig moeten handelen, maar ook hoe ze alert moeten zijn en waar ze op moeten letten.

De specialisten van NFIR maken een email van uw organisatie na en verwerken daarin enkele aanwijzingen aan de hand waarvan een medewerker kan ontdekken dat het een phishing mail betreft. Die nagemaakte email wordt verstuurd vanuit een door NFIR aangeschaft domein dat erg lijkt op dat van uw organisatie (spelfout domein). Ontvangers worden gestimuleerd om bijvoorbeeld inloggegevens in te vullen op een door NFIR gemaakte website. De resultaten van de phishing test verwerken wij in een heldere rapportage die wij met u delen. Daarnaast adviseren wij in de rapportage over de wijze waarop u de kans op schade door phishing mail kan verkleinen. \"}]},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Wat houdt Cyber Awareness middels (serious) games in?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":[{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"NFIR biedt de mogelijkheid om security awareness onder medewerkers te vergroten door middel van serious games.
