Phishing simulations are fake phishing attacks that are used as training tools to educate users about how to identify and prevent real phishing attacks.
These simulations typically involve sending simulated phishing emails to a group of users and tracking how many of them fall for the fake attack by clicking on a link or entering their login credentials.
The goal of phishing simulations is to help users become more aware of the types of phishing attacks that they may encounter, as well as to teach them the strategies and tactics that they can use to protect themselves. This can include things like looking for clues that an email is fake, such as a suspicious sender address or poor grammar, as well as being cautious about clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources.
