important for reducing the likelihood of a cybersecurity incident.<br \/>\nAfter all, a large portion of cybersecurity incidents are caused by email.  In addition, phishing emails are becoming more sophisticated and can hardly be distinguished from authentic emails. This explains why it is very lucrative for hackers to carry out phishing attacks. A phishing simulation tests your employees&#8217; ability to recognize phishing emails and act appropriately after receiving a phishing email. The simulation is thus an effective way to measure and maintain awareness and alertness among your employees.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-921d499 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"921d499\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5675807 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5675807\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyber-security-online.nl\/en\/cyber-security-awareness-for-security-awareness-in-the-workplace\/social-engineering-make-humans-the-strongest-link\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"294\" height=\"294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cyber-security-online.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/social-engineering-phishing.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-12855\" alt=\"Phishing simulations\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cyber-security-online.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/social-engineering-phishing.png 294w, https:\/\/www.cyber-security-online.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/social-engineering-phishing-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 294px) 100vw, 294px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02317de e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"02317de\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9335ed e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c9335ed\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6b8465 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a6b8465\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why have a phishing simulation performed? <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c0ef74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6c0ef74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Phishing is the most common attack scenario by which criminals attempt to gain access to an organization.

We explain that distinction below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Classic mail phishing simulation: This phishing simulation aims to train employees and create more awareness. The purpose of this phishing simulation is to test employees&#8217; ability to recognize a phishing e-mail. Do they respond appropriately to receiving the phishing e-mail? Are data entered or attachments opened? The classic mail phishing simulation has two variants: an email that contains a rogue link and an email that contains a rogue attachment. In consultation with you, we determine the scenario, domain name and sender. That way, we can deliver each phishing simulation tailored to your needs.<\/li>\n<li>Targeted spear phishing simulation: The term spear phishing refers to the traditional method of fishing that involved targeting a single fish. In line with this method, spear phishing targets one person or a select group of individuals within the organization. OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) is used to reach this group. Thus, through public information, an attempt is made to gather data about the organization and this employee(s). This involves creative and sophisticated techniques.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Phishing services are often combined with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyber-security-online.nl\/en\/pentesten-security-audits-to-test-your-digital-resilience-2\/\">pen test<\/a> to also test technical resilience.

De mate waarin iemand in staat is om security incidenten te voorkomen kan met een security awareness training vergroot worden. 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 security awareness trainingen van NFIR zijn erop gericht medewerkers bewust te maken van de bijdrage die zij leveren aan de digitale veiligheid van de organisatie waarvoor zij werken. \"}]},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Hoe gaat een Phishing mail test in zijn werk?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":[{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Met een phishing mail test kunt u controleren hoe alert uw medewerkers zijn op malafide e-mails. 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.

Important here is not to mention the number of phishing simulations you have performed per year.<\\\/p>\\n\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How is the outcome of the phishing simulation measured?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>To chart the success of the phishing simulation, we provide a report. This report provides an overview of the most important results. The report indicates how many unique mailboxes the simulated phishing e-mail was sent to and what actions employees took. Examples of actions include clicking on a link, leaving data, and opening an attachment.<\\\/p>\\n\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can we control the content of the phishing email?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>NFIR works with a number of formats in which we can incorporate your requirements. Together with you, we will devise the form and content of the phishing simulation and ensure that the simulation fits your organization.<\\\/p>\\n\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do all phishing simulations contain a link or are there other forms of phishing that are applied?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Several formats can be chosen for the phishing simulations. It is possible to choose a simulation in which an infected link is simulated. However, there are other forms of phishing that we encounter in practice. Nowadays, it is also common for phishing emails to contain an untrusted attachment. For example, a Word document may be attached in which a macro is disguised. The moment this attachment is opened, this macro can activate malware.<\\\/p>\\n\"}}]}<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recognizing phishing emails and acting appropriately is very important for reducing the likelihood of a cybersecurity incident.
