Proofpoint Security Awareness Training

Formerly Wombat Security

PSAT (Proofpoint Security Awareness Training) has been selected over another competitors, due to its large experience on phishing/e-mail protection. We rely on PSAT to recommend to our customers as so internal use.

Most of the environments are allowed to use it, due to its easy way to run. In our experience, We didn't find any problem at any size of company so far.

Proofpoint Security Awareness Training is used for phishing simulations and end user education across the company. It's been the most effective way for teaching our users how to spot phishing attacks AND also easily report the phishing emails for response by our security operations team.

Our company recently purchased Proofpoint Security Awareness to be used across our organization for security training. We realized that in order to keep our company safe it is important to educate our employees. We have been using the phishing campaigns, as well as the training modules.
We have been phishing different departments across the company to get an initial "click" rate. The week after the initial "phish" we then send the department through a training module. The third week they are "phished" again. This process has continued until the whole company has gone through this first phase. Going forward our plan is to add a Proofpoint Module to our New Hire orientation, and we plan to do Quarterly Campaigns across the organization on different security topics.

We have used Proofpoint Security Awareness Training to educate our user community on the dangers that exist in the technology world. We have employed this training throughout the organization from the CEO on down. This addresses the need for caution in actioning potentially dangerous situations such as attachments and links. It has been very successful.

Our company uses the Proofpoint platform to invite our employees to pass GDPR certification. The records are stored in our system, as well as we use the system to send the invitations/reminders.
