Phishing Simulation

Phishing remains one of the most common ways attackers gain an initial foothold, because it targets people rather than technology. A phishing simulation mimics the tactics of a real attack — a fake invoice, a spoofed login page, an urgent message from a supposed executive — and records who clicked, who entered credentials, and who reported it correctly, without any real harm to the organisation. Results feed into targeted training rather than blame, since the goal is a measurable reduction in risk over repeated campaigns, not punishing individuals.

Regular phishing simulation is recommended as part of a layered security programme alongside technical controls such as multi-factor authentication and email filtering, and is often a requirement of cyber insurance policies or a Cyber Essentials-aligned security programme. For Caribbean businesses, where a single compromised finance-team inbox can lead directly to fraudulent wire transfers, simulation combined with a clear "verify by phone" policy for payment changes is one of the most cost-effective controls available.
