Phishing Simulator FAQs

You can send or schedule as many different phishing campaigns as you like. The only limitation is the number of users that you have added to your Defense.com account.

With Defense.com you can choose from a range of pre-made email templates that link to a dedicated landing page. Each landing page is branded as a fake company and contains a form that is designed to capture information. You can track if any users clicked the email or submitted data in the form, and follow up with individuals to provide further training.

To ensure that your phishing campaigns get delivered successfully, we’d advise whitelisting our domain in your spam filters. Check out this help guide for more information.

Campaigns can run anywhere from a week to a month. We recommend a minimum of two weeks for best results, and for optimal engagement, it's best to schedule the start date on a weekday.

You can target specific departments or groups within your organisation using our pre-made phishing templates. This allows you to customise simulations based on the unique needs and roles of different teams. For example, you can choose templates that reflect the types of emails commonly received by sales, finance, or IT departments, making the simulations more relevant and effective. This targeted approach helps to ensure that each group receives training that is applicable to their daily responsibilities, ultimately enhancing your organisation’s overall security awareness.
