Defence Against Phishing Attacks

The financial impact of phishing attacks on businesses in Germany continues to rise each year. Almost every company and nearly every employee has encountered phishing attempts at some point. From the installation of malware and the theft of sensitive internal data to financial losses, the consequences can be severe and far-reaching.

Phishing emails can take two forms: mass-distributed, automated messages sent to numerous recipients or highly targeted, personalized attacks aimed at specific individuals or organizations (spear phishing). These emails are often so convincingly crafted that even experienced users may fall victim to them.

Despite spam filters, firewalls, and antivirus software, phishing emails still find their way into inboxes. This is partly because spammers continuously adapt their tactics, updating emails and malware almost daily to bypass standard security measures.

Professional Phishing Simulations: Testing Your Defenses

A professional phishing simulation allows you to assess your company’s defense mechanisms comprehensively—from spam filters to employee awareness.

The simulation is conducted in full compliance with data protection regulations, tailored to your specific needs. During an initial planning session, we collaborate with you, your data protection officer, and, if applicable, employee representatives to define the scope and approach of the campaign.

At the conclusion of the campaign, you will receive a detailed, anonymized report. This comprehensive assessment provides valuable insights into your current IT security posture, based on the simulated attack.
