What is a phishing simulation?
A phishing simulation is a controlled, harmless phishing email sent to your own employees to measure how they react: who opens it, who clicks, who reports it. The goal is not to catch people out. It's to surface where the risk really sits and give every employee a safe place to learn what a real attack looks like.
Mass phishing
Generic emails sent to many employees at once, impersonating well-known brands, delivery services or internal systems. The most common starting point for any phishing program.
Spear phishing
Targeted emails tailored to a specific employee or team, often referencing real projects or recent events. Harder to spot, and far higher impact when successful.
CEO fraud
An attacker impersonates a senior leader to pressure finance or HR into urgent action: an invoice payment, a wire transfer, a password reset. One of the most damaging patterns out there.
