Phished Gives Peace of Mind

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Phished at my organization to help protect against cyber attacks. This software assists our team with keeping knowledgable about cyber threats. Cyber protection isn't just about a company's IT department. Literally EVERY worker is a firewall if trained well enough. Phished helps organizations accomplish this through active reporting and training.

Pros

  • Provides simulations to help increase cyber threat awareness
  • Provides continual active reporting to lock out cyber attacks
  • Provides their "Behavioral Risk Score" to monitor the organization's security status at all times

Cons

  • I would like more testing and personalized simulations added
  • It would be great to have job role specific training so each different department knows better of the cyber threats that might come their particular way
  • More detailed status reports would certainly be beneficial

Most Important Features

  • Training sessions
  • Simulations
  • 24/7 reporting

Return on Investment

  • Phished has helped us protect against data breaches which in return protects our profits and maintain client retention
  • Phished has freed up project management tasks for our IT department since the software is always monitoring cyber attacks
  • Phished has allowed my organization to meet its annual cyber protection goals
