Fresh off our win in the same category last year, we’re thrilled that PhishMe Simulator has been chosen as a finalist once again in the 2017 SC Magazine Awards for Best IT Security-Related Training Platform. The award highlights companies and organizations that provide end-user awareness training programs for enterprises to ensure that employees are knowledgeable and supportive of IT security and risk management plans.
We’ve worked hard to live up to the honor of winning this prestigious award and many others such as being named a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Awareness Computer Based Training.
This industry recognition reinforces PhishMe’s commitment to delivering the best solutions to combat today’s top cyberthreats such as phishing emails and their malicious intent – whether malware, BEC or credential theft. These types of attacks show no signs of slowing down – and neither will PhishMe. Just recently, Europol named ransomware the top cybercrime threat and our own PhishMe Q3 Malware Review showed that 97 percent of phishing emails now contain some form of ransomware.
As the reigning winner of this award, we have strived to spread our philosophy that Awareness is Not Enough. By leveraging our unique approach to phishing defense, our customers have been able to train their employees to be security assets instead of vulnerabilities by behaviorally conditioning them to identify and report threats. As such, we look forward to being considered by the judges as a finalist for another year in the training program category.
By empowering employees with the proper conditioning needed to detect and report malicious phishing emails, our users quickly and efficiently assess organizational risk, identify areas for additional improvement as well as provide security teams with effective intelligence that allows them to respond to incidents in a timely manner. In some cases, this type of conditioning has reduced a company’s overall susceptibility by more than 95 percent.
We’re excited to find out if we’ve made the cut again during the awards ceremony Tuesday, February 14 2017 at the Intercontinental San Francisco. Wish us luck!
