Phishing Simulation Testing

Consequences

Falling victim to phishing attacks can have severe implications for an organization:

  • Data Breaches—Employees tricked by phishing emails can inadvertently disclose sensitive information, leading to significant data breaches.
  • Financial Loss—Phishing attacks can result in direct financial losses, costly incident responses, and significant fines and penalties for non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • Reputational Damage—Incidents caused by phishing attacks can harm customer trust and damage the organization's reputation.

Challenges

Implementing effective Phishing Simulation Testing involves overcoming several technical challenges:

  • Sophistication of Attacks—Creating realistic simulations that accurately mimic evolving phishing tactics is complex and resource-intensive.
  • Email Deliverability—Ensuring that simulation emails bypass spam filters without being flagged or blocked can be difficult.
  • Measuring Effectiveness—Accurately tracking and analyzing employee responses to simulations to identify vulnerabilities and improve training is essential but challenging.

“We’re currently building our phishing simulation campaigns in IRONSCALES and the simulations are very realistic—they don’t look botched at all. If you’re going to do simulation phishing, it has to be convincing and based on what I’ve seen, these will be.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How are IRONSCALES phishing simulations different from other vendors?

IRONSCALES uses real-world threat data and generative AI to craft simulations that mirror actual attacks your users might face. The system tailors tests based on user behavior, department, and past performance. This results in more realistic scenarios and better-trained users compared to static or generic templates.

How does the platform personalize phishing tests for different users?

Our Adaptive AI analyzes user-specific risk factors, such as frequent targeting, prior failures, and click behavior. Based on this, the system auto-generates simulation campaigns that match each user’s threat profile. This helps reduce blind spots and improves training outcomes without manual setup.

Can we automate the phishing simulation schedule?

Yes. You can configure simulation cadence, audience segmentation, and difficulty level in advance. IRONSCALES will automatically run campaigns and adjust content over time, allowing security teams to maintain consistent training without constant oversight.

Does the platform provide detailed reporting on user performance?

Absolutely. IRONSCALES tracks who clicked, reported, or ignored each simulation, and presents the data in dashboards and downloadable reports. You can filter by user, department, or trend over time to identify high-risk individuals and justify training improvements or policy changes.

Are users alerted after they fail a phishing simulation?

Yes. IRONSCALES delivers instant feedback to users who fall for a simulated attack. This includes alert messages, and optional short training modules tied directly to the type of phishing tactic they missed. Reinforcement happens at the moment it is most impactful.

Can simulations be multilingual and scalable for large teams?

Yes. IRONSCALES supports phishing simulations and training content in 26 languages, making it easy to engage global teams in their native language. The platform is built to scale, allowing you to run simulations across thousands of users with minimal setup. You can target specific groups, customize content by region, and manage everything from a central dashboard.

Can phishing simulations help us meet compliance or cyber insurance requirements?

Yes. Regular phishing testing and user awareness training are often required for compliance frameworks and cyber insurance policies. IRONSCALES makes it easy to document and demonstrate ongoing phishing resilience initiatives, with automated logging and audit-friendly reporting.

Is this simulation feature part of a larger security platform or a standalone tool?

Phishing simulation testing is fully integrated into the IRONSCALES email security platform. This means simulation insights can inform threat detection and training strategies across the system, while your users benefit from consistent reinforcement through banners, training, and reporting tools in a single experience.
