2023-10-13 17:34:39 | Devriez-vous utiliser des e-mails de test de phishing simulés controversés? Should You Use Controversial Simulated Phishing Test Emails? (lien direct) |
The Wall Street Journal recently published an article about using highly-emotionally charged, “controversial”, subjects in simulated phishing tests. Controversial topic examples include fake pay raises, reward gift cards, and free Taylor Swift tickets. The younger half of our team is convinced the latter topic would have completely tricked them. Since the article was published, we have had readers and customers ask us how we felt about the use of controversial simulated phishing tests, especially since they are part of our offering.Here is our general statement: KnowBe4 recommends caution when using controversial subjects in simulated phishing tests as they may generate anger upset if used incorrectly. If you decide to use a controversial topic, it is better if it mimics a real-world phishing scenario than simply a brand-new idea that has never been used before. Our customers choose and customize templates based on their organization\'s needs, and obviously, that needs to be done the right way. We have sent over a billion phishing tests over the last 13 years. A very small fraction of those have caused complaints. An ounce of prevention in the form of one simulated phishing test a month is worth a pound of cure. It is better to be proactive and prevent potential data breaches. Some people have asked us why we even offer controversial simulated phishing topics, which could cause negative reactions. The short answer is that many of our customers want and successfully use controversial simulated phishing topics.Every organization is different and its tolerance of using controversial topics is different. But in general, security awareness training (SAT) programs should strive to win “hearts and minds” and proponents versus opponents. Creating an angry workforce that reacts negatively against an SAT program because of some outlier topics is not a great outcome. Our KnowBe4 platform has over 20,000 simulated phishing “templates” and we would advise you select a less controversial template, if the more controversial ones are going to cause strong negativity. We know from our data of over 65,000 customer organizations and over a billion simulated phishing tests that sending--ideally once a month--simulated phishing tests is one of, if not the best, things you can do to reduce cybersecurity risk in your environment. Social engineering and phishing accounts for 50% to 90% of successful cybersecurity exploits (depending on the data you rely on). No other cybersecurity attack root cause comes even close, although unpatched software and firmware trails in second place involved in around 20% to 40% of attacks. Doing simulated phishing tests is the best way to educate your workforce about various social engineering threats. It is the best type of security awareness education, far more effective than regular training content alone. In the average customer environment, about one-third of untrained employees will click on a phishing (or simulated phishing) email. After training, including simulated phishing tests, that percentage falls to around 5%. Many of our customers, with frequent simulated phishing tests, get that percentage down to 2% or less. Doing simulated phishing tests is one of the best defenses you can de |
