Frequently asked questions
Why is phishing still the leading attack vector despite decades of awareness training?
Modern phishing attacks are highly personalized (spear-phishing), often impersonate trusted brands with near-perfect visual fidelity, and exploit urgency or authority bias rather than technical ignorance. Regular reinforcement training — not one-time onboarding — is the only proven mitigation.
How often should employees take phishing awareness training?
Industry guidance (NIST, CIS Controls) recommends simulated phishing exercises at least quarterly and role-specific training annually. Employees who click a simulation should be retrained immediately rather than waiting for the next cycle.
