A simulated phishing exercise is a cybersecurity training method used to test and educate employees about phishing threats. Hacking for Good can send fake but realistic phishing emails to organizational staff to see how they respond-whether they click on suspicious links, enter sensitive information, or report the email as suspicious, all in a safe and controlled environment. The goal isn’t to trick or punish employees, but to raise awareness and improve their ability to recognize and avoid real phishing attacks. Phishing is one of THE MOST common ways cybercriminals gain access to networks, often leading to data breaches, financial loss, or system compromise. By running simulations, companies can identify weak spots in their defenses, provide targeted training, and build a culture of caution and vigilance. These exercises also help IT teams measure the effectiveness of their security awareness programs and reduce the overall risk of a successful attack.
