Employee Phishing Testing

In an era where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated, phishing remains one of the most prevalent and effective attack vectors. To safeguard your organisation, it is crucial to educate employees and test their resilience against phishing attempts. Siege Cyber’s Employee Phishing Testing services are designed to assess and enhance your team’s ability to recognise and respond to phishing threats, thereby strengthening your overall security posture.

What is Employee Phishing Testing?

Employee Phishing Testing involves simulating phishing attacks to evaluate the awareness and response of your staff. These tests help identify vulnerabilities, provide training opportunities, and ultimately build a more vigilant and resilient workforce.
