What is a Phishing Assessment & Why Does My Business Need One?
Broad-scale and targeted email phishing attacks are among the most likely type of cyber attack that businesses are having to contend with today. Such emails can be sent with little risk, and if successful, could trick users into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials, or potentially even result in the installation of malware. Such emails could be sent in mass to all employees when just one successful exploit is needed to compromise the business’ sensitive data. Alternatively, specific individuals within the business may be targeted with highly bespoke emails, aiming to leverage that particular employee’s privileges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deliverable from the Phishing service?
The aim of a phishing campaign is to target staff members by simulating a realistic phishing attack and analysing the response from staff members. This allows companies to understand how likely they are to be compromised by a phishing attack and identify key areas/people that may require additional security awareness training. Regular phishing campaigns allow you to track the progress your security awareness training over time.
What impact can phishing have on my company?
Two-thirds of all malware arrives via email attachments and sophisticated phishing emails facilitate 90% of successful cyber attacks. According to trend labs, the average cost of a business email compromise attack is $140,000 but this can be more significant with Leoni AG losing $44.6 million in a single attack. Between 2013 and 2018, over $12 billion was lost to phishing attacks.
What types of phishing Assessments do you offer?
Pentest People offer a broad range of phishing services that can be completely tailored to suit your needs. Typically, a login portal of some kind will be spoofed with code that will gather credentials entered on the page. At this point, we can stop the campaign or as companies often want, we can dig further and try to access systems like office365. Phishing is often executed as part of a larger Social Engineering package that consists of Open Source Intelligence Gathering (OSINT), Telephone phishing and physical intrusion. It can be sold as a single service.
Do I need a Phishing Assessment?
All sized companies can benefit from a phishing assessment. A lot of time and money is spent hardening Infrastructures and Web Applications but ‘people’ are often overlooked even though they are typically the easiest way for an attacker to breach an organisation.
