The trigger
An employee bought gift cards for an attacker impersonating a senior executive. Technical defences were strong, but a well-made social engineering scam still got through.
The goal
- Give every employee the confidence to recognise and report phishing and impersonation.
- Make security a normal part of daily work.
- Show results quickly, without adding work for a small IT team.
Rollout
Some stakeholders worried simulations would embarrass staff. Framing each exercise as a safe place to practise settled that, and board members welcomed the insight.
How the programme grew
- Simulations tailored to the tactics the industry sees.
- Dashboards for engagement, clicks, reporting and the employees most at risk.
- Short micro-learning modules that reinforce key lessons.
