Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used to to get an insight on our insider risk by performing a phishing simulation on all staff at a client site. The software provides a very helpful dashboard of the simulation and provides training for the users who were caught by the simulation.
This helped us provide a client with ways they could improve their security and reduce the impact of insider risks.
