GuidePoint Security launches Phishing as a Service (PhaaS) to strengthen cyber defenses
GuidePoint Security has announced the launch of its new Phishing as a Service (PhaaS) offering, designed to enhance organizations' defenses against one of the most pervasive cyber threats: phishing. This new service aims to streamline the process of conducting phishing simulations, making it easier for security teams to educate their workforce and bolster their cybersecurity posture.
Phishing remains a critical entry point for cybercriminals, with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) reporting that over 90% of successful cyberattacks begin with a phishing email. Despite the widespread recognition of this threat, many organizations struggle to manage simulation platforms and craft convincing phishing campaigns due to limited resources and time.
GuidePoint Security’s Phishing as a Service addresses this challenge by putting advanced phishing simulation tools in the hands of experienced Attack Simulation Operators. This service allows organizations to maximize the value of their security investments by leveraging the expertise of GuidePoint’s team to deliver realistic and effective phishing simulations.
The Phishing as a Service offering includes:
Simulation Campaign Planning and Execution: GuidePoint's experts design and implement phishing campaigns tailored to an organization’s specific needs, ensuring that simulations are both realistic and challenging.
Customized Dashboard Creation: Users receive a tailored dashboard that provides real-time insights into the performance and outcomes of phishing simulations, allowing for easy tracking and analysis.
In-Depth Report Generation: Detailed reports are generated to provide a comprehensive overview of the campaign’s results, including metrics on employee responses and areas needing improvement.
Training Coordination: To complement the simulations, GuidePoint coordinates training efforts to educate employees on identifying and avoiding phishing threats, thereby strengthening the organization's overall security posture.
“Our innovative Phishing as a Service optimizes your phishing simulation toolkit by leveraging the latest technologies and our highly-trained experts to deliver realistic campaigns, effectively educating your workforce and providing valuable insights into this critical risk area,” said Victor Wieczorek, SVP of Offensive Security at GuidePoint Security.
With cyber threats evolving rapidly, the ability to simulate and prepare for phishing attacks is more crucial than ever. GuidePoint Security’s Phishing as a Service offers a comprehensive solution for organizations looking to enhance their phishing defense strategies without overburdening their security teams.
