Phishing attacks are among the most prevalent and effective forms of cyberattacks, exploiting the simplicity of tricking employees into clicking malicious links. While these attacks may seem straightforward, their impact can be devastating, allowing attackers access to sensitive data and systems. The good news is that with proper education, employees can become the first line of defense against phishing. ShriShodashi offers comprehensive phishing awareness training designed to empower your staff and safeguard your organization. Here's how it works and the benefits it brings.

Understanding Phishing Awareness Training

Phishing awareness training equips your employees with the knowledge and skills to identify, report, and respond to phishing attempts. Our training includes real-world examples and practice drills, ensuring that your team can recognize and thwart phishing attacks effectively. Here's what your employees will learn:

• Identify Phishing Attempts: Employees will learn to recognize the key features of phishing emails, such as suspicious links, unusual sender addresses, and alarming messages that prompt immediate action.
• Report Attempted Attacks: Proper reporting protocols are crucial. Our training includes guidance on how and when to report phishing attempts, ensuring that a coordinated response can prevent further attacks.
• Pass Tests on Learned Skills: Ongoing reinforcement is vital. Employees will be tested on their knowledge and receive continuous training to ensure they stay vigilant against evolving threats.

How ShriShodashi’s Phishing Prevention Training Works

ShriShodashi's phishing prevention training is structured to provide ongoing, practical education that fits seamlessly into your organization's workflow. Here’s how our program operates:

• Monthly Simulated Phishing Attacks: Employees receive simulated phishing emails each month, mimicking real-life scenarios to test their ability to identify and respond to phishing attempts. We track the delivery and success rates of these simulations to ensure effectiveness.
• Short, Targeted Training Sessions: Rather than long and ineffective training videos, we use brief, focused training sessions that are delivered immediately following a mistake. These sessions are tailored to address the specific error made, reinforcing learning in a timely and relevant manner.
• Tailored and Relevant Content: Our training content is specifically designed to match the nature of the phishing scenario encountered. This approach ensures that the information is pertinent and retains employees’ attention.
• Managed and Measured Progress: ShriShodashi oversees the entire training process, tracking progress and improvements through various scenarios. We provide detailed reports on employee performance and engagement with the training materials.
• Nonpunitive Learning Opportunities: If an employee fails a phishing test, they receive immediate feedback and a learning opportunity. These are delivered in a supportive, nonpunitive manner, which can include videos or web-based information tailored to the training context.
