Phishing Assessment
No one likes to be fooled…
but people are still the weak link
in an organisation’s security
A phishing assessment is when deceptive or malicious emails are sent to employees within an organization in an attempt to coerce them to click on provided links, open file attachments, or provide access to sensitive information or systems.
With an unprecedented increase in malicious emails, more people are now falling for phishing than ever before, resulting in costly security breaches and fraud. With this increase in phishing and cyber fraud, as well as the costly damages and resulting loss experienced by victims of ransomware and business email compromise, there is a growing need to test your organisation’s susceptibility to social engineering attacks in the same way that you should be testing your network security defences with penetration testing.

Social Engineering Risk and Phishing Risk Assessments
A phishing assessment from Infosec Partners gives your company the tools it needs to safely simulate phishing attacks and to test your employees’ security awareness and evaluate the ability of your network security infrastructure to protect from cyber attacks.
Threats from phishing and social engineering are at an all-time high, with more businesses suffering than ever before.
