Design and refine your human-layer defenses with expert-led phishing exercises that turn policy into tested, actionable improvements.
Emulate modern adversaries (not generic templates) to expose where vigilance breaks down and how attackers chain small lapses into business impact.
From executive spear phish to org-wide drills, we adapt to your structure and maturity, then convert findings into a practical roadmap for measurable risk reduction.
Before any campaign, our consultants conduct focused OSINT and environment reconnaissance — reviewing public sources, role context, and organizational footprint to design authentic, credible lures. Each message is crafted to mirror genuine communication and test real decision points, ensuring every interaction feels legitimate to the target.
Our Red Team–grade simulations mimic real adversary tradecraft with credible senders, gated payloads, and staged follow-ups.
For organizations seeking simpler awareness testing, we also provide LMS-based phishing modules using standardized templates for scalable employee education and risk tracking.
Bitdefender phishing simulations can emulate a wide range of attack types, basic click only, credential harvesting, malicious link and malware delivery , QR and SMS-based phishing (quishing/smishing), MFA fatigue and push notification abuse, executive and business email compromise (BEC). Each campaign includes controlled variants to adjust difficulty and realism based on audience maturity.
We deploy dedicated, secure infrastructure for email delivery and telemetry capture, tracking every user who opens, clicks, or submits credentials. This visibility provides quantifiable insight into user behavior and organizational resilience
Pair the exercise with concise, role-specific micro-lessons and real-time coaching prompts triggered by user actions. These contextual nudges helps employees understand mistakes instantly and build lasting behavioral resilience.
You receive an executive-ready report summarizing key metrics, industry benchmark and actionable recommendations for improvement. Results can be supported by updated awareness playbooks that help leadership reinforce learning and track progress over time.
Highly targeted, research-driven simulations focused on executives and critical functions, including Finance, HR, Engineering, DevOps, and IT Administrators, to evaluate how your most exposed personas respond under pressure.
Includes:
Focused OSINT reconnaissance and bespoke pretexts
Business Email Compromise (BEC) and executive-targeted scenarios
Executive summary report and prioritized recommendations for improvement
Assess baseline resilience across your entire workforce and identify behavioral hotspots by team, geography, or business function.
Delivered either as a consultant-led engagement for tailored design and analysis, or through an LMS platform for flexible and scalable testing with integrated awareness training. Ideal for tracking organizational trends, awareness maturity, and progress over time.
Includes:
Segmented campaign delivery with tiered difficulty
Trend and behavior analysis by group or region
Roadmap for sustained awareness improvement
Extend beyond testing into operational uplift by combining phishing exercises with policy and workflow enhancement. This package strengthens both user behavior and SOC processes for real-world readiness.
Includes:
Everything in the Organization-Wide Phishing Drill, plus:
Workflow and escalation path review
Mailbox and reporting channel optimization
Playbook updates and change communications for lasting adoption
Proactively enhance your overall cybersecurity posture by engaging with our team of experienced consultants to support the management of cybersecurity risks across your organization.
Executive & Technical Reporting: KPIs (open, click, submit, report), risk themes, root-cause analysis, role or function heatmaps, all based on the information provided by the organization.
Playbook & Workflow Improvements: Reporting channels, mailbox rules, triage paths, escalation criteria, and comms templates.
Awareness Content: Targeted micro-training aligned to actual mistakes and local languages.
Optional Reassessment: Repeat the exercise to track improvement, spot recurring patterns, and measure progress across teams and individuals. Validate that awareness initiatives are reducing risk where it matters most.
We research the industry, the user roles, common vendors, and current events to craft believable pretexts or each scenario, mirroring how real adversaries operate. The campaigns can also be tailored to specific departments within the organisation to truly test their security awareness.
Yes. Rules of engagement set guardrails for payloads, timing, targets and escalation. We can simulate risky steps while preserving learning outcomes. If the phishing is delivered using our Learning Management System (LMS) platform we are also able to provide training directly after the simulation to provide immediate correction of the behaviour to limit future business impact.
Yes. We localize the scenarios and awareness content to reflect how your teams actually work and communicate.
Beyond click rates, we evaluate credential submission, reporting behaviorbehaviour, blue-team response., For more targeted spear phishing or malware delivery scenarios, we evaluate success rates for each step of the attack chain, from payload delivery to payload execution.alert fidelity, and playbook execution, then prioritize fixes and track improvement in a retest.
Yes. Most industry and regulatory frameworks include expectations around security culture, user awareness, and ongoing training. Phishing simulations directly support these objectives by demonstrating active efforts to strengthen human risk management (HRM) and can serve as evidence of continuous improvement alongside onboarding programs and annual e-learning. Although not specifically mandated, conducting regular simulations are often viewed favorably by auditors and regulators, particularly in the aftermath of a breach or incident.
No. In addition to our consultant-led, tailored phishing simulations, Bitdefender also offers phishing campaigns delivered through our LMS platform. This platform enables immediate, dynamic training following each exercise, including automated follow-up lessons for those who fall for simulations, and targeted modules for repeat offenders to reinforce learning. The LMS also supports detailed trend reporting and flexible campaign management, allowing simulations to be customized by audience, department, region, or event. Together, these options allow organizations to continuously improve security awareness, measure behavioral progress, and strengthen human-layer defenses over time.
