Callback phishing simulation

Measure the call the email asks for

600+ callback templates, email and voice, with voice in 7 languages.

The email
A callback phishing email template in the Keepnet console, with its red flags marked. Recipient name is fictional.
The call
The callback template steps in the Keepnet console: the call greeting voiced by an AI voice, the identification code step and the digit entry step.
Training
The callback phishing training an employee receives, in the Keepnet training player.

Callbacks are one channel. Email, voice, SMS and QR codes run alongside them in the multi-channel phishing simulator.

How a callback phishing simulation works

Email, call, measure

  1. A callback phishing email template in the Keepnet console, with its red flags marked. Recipient name is fictional.

    1. Email

    An email carries a number and a code.

    • From 250+ templates
    • Red flags marked for coaching
    • Delivered by SMTP or Direct Email Creation
  2. The callback template steps in the Keepnet console: the call greeting voiced by an AI voice, the identification code step and the digit entry step.

    2. Call

    The employee calls a Keepnet number.

    • Text-to-speech or your own recording
    • The code links the call to the employee
    • Numbers are never spoofed
  3. The callback phishing training an employee receives, in the Keepnet training player.

    3. Measure

    A result for each employee, stage by stage.

    • Opened, called back, entered digits
    • Reported with one click
    • Training to follow
The voice on the line

Text-to-speech or your own recording

Text-to-speech

A scripted line in the AI voice and language you pick.

Your own recording

Upload audio for the call greeting and each step.

Identification code

The caller enters it, so the result lands on the right record.

Keepnet calls the employee instead? That is the vishing simulator.

Templates and numbers

The email and the number work together

  • 250+callback scenarios
  • 250+email templates
  • 300+voice templates
  • 7voice languages

Keepnet-owned numbers

Assigned to your account, within your licence. Never spoofed.

Email and voice as a pair

One template carries both sides of the scenario.

In their language

Voice lines in the language you pick.

Targeting

The teams that take the most calls

Smart groups

Repeat clickers, new hires and untrained employees.

By role

Finance, help desk and executive assistants, as their own groups.

Sending hours

The days and hours you set, in your time zone.

Agentic AI

AI prepares the scenario, you approve it

Red flags marked

AI marks the red flags in each email.

In your policy and tone

Agents create templates within your company policy.

Approval first

Nothing is sent until you approve it.

Reporting

Employees report a suspicious callback email in one click

One click to report

The Keepnet Phishing Reporter add-in, in the mail client.

The right behaviour, counted

A reported simulation shows on the employee’s record.

Suspicious emails analysed

Reports that are not simulations go to Incident Responder.

Questions

What buyers ask about callback phishing simulation

Short answers first. New to the topic? Read what callback phishing is.

A callback phishing simulation sends employees a harmless email that asks them to call a number, then records who calls, who enters the requested code and who reports the email.

It is also called a TOAD (telephone-oriented attack delivery) simulation.

The email carries a Keepnet phone number and an identification code. When an employee calls, a scripted voice line plays and asks for the code, and each step is recorded against that employee.

Who opened the email, who called back, who entered digits, who reported it and who did not respond, with dates and counts for each employee.

Keepnet-owned numbers assigned to your account, within your licence. Calls are never spoofed.

Each email carries its own identification code. The caller enters it at the start of the call, so the result lands on the right record.

A text-to-speech message in the AI voice and language you pick, or a recording you upload.

Callback voice templates come in 7 languages, across 600+ email and voice templates.

Training follows, during the call or after the simulation ends, so the result turns into practice.

With the Keepnet Phishing Reporter add-in. A reported simulation counts as the right behaviour on the employee's record.

In a callback simulation the employee places the call. In a vishing simulation Keepnet calls the employee. Both run from the same console.

Yes. It can be bought on its own, priced per employee, or inside a plan with Keepnet's other simulators and training.
