Turn Every Employee Into a Human Firewall Against Phishing
Over 90% of successful cyberattacks start with a click. GPT-powered phishing simulations, adaptive training, and a one-click report button — built into your email security platform — cut that risk down fast.
Security awareness training is the practice of teaching employees to recognise and safely report phishing and social-engineering attacks, usually through simulated phishing emails followed by short, targeted lessons. Phishing simulation testing is the part of that training where realistic, fake phishing emails are sent to staff to measure and improve how they respond — without any real risk.
Why Phishing Training Alone Doesn't Work — And What Does
Annual security awareness programmes with generic phishing templates and multiple-choice quizzes have a well-documented problem: employees forget them within weeks, and the simulations bear no resemblance to the AI-generated, highly personalised attacks they actually face.
Modern phishing is written by AI — grammatically perfect, personalised with LinkedIn data, timed to catch people off-guard. Training has to match the threat. That means realistic phishing simulations using current attack techniques, adaptive content that responds to each employee's behaviour, and integration with live email security so training and detection reinforce each other.
The goal of Security Awareness Training is not to make employees into security experts. It is to reduce the likelihood that a single click causes an incident — and to ensure that when something suspicious arrives, employees know exactly what to do with it.
What Our Phishing Simulation & Awareness Training Provides
🎯 GPT-Powered Phishing Simulations
Generate up to 2,000 highly personalised spear-phishing emails per campaign — eliminating the manual work of building realistic simulations from scratch.
🧠 Smart Targeting by Role & Risk
Training matched to each employee's role, department, and individual risk level. Finance teams receive payment fraud scenarios. Executives receive impersonation attacks.
🎓 100+ Videos in 10+ Languages
No-nonsense, 1-minute training videos from IRONSCALES, Wizer, and other premium partners — automatically triggered the moment an employee clicks a simulated phishing email.
🚨 One-Click Reporting in Outlook & Gmail
A report button built into every inbox. One click flags a suspicious email — and it's automatically removed from every other inbox across the organisation.
📊 90% Fewer Clicks, Measured
Organisations using GPT-powered simulations alongside automated training see up to 3X awareness improvement and a 90% reduction in phishing link clicks.
📋 NIS2 & DORA Training Requirement — Met
NIS2 Article 21 and DORA both require staff cybersecurity awareness programmes. Our training satisfies this out of the box, with campaign logs as your compliance record.

- Preview the exact simulated phishing email employees will receive.
- Preview a QR-code ("quishing") attack template mirroring current real-world tactics.
- Choose the landing page an employee sees if they click a simulated phishing link.
- Select from multiple landing page styles and tones.
- Employees who click are shown what they missed and how to report similar emails.
- Add a short, focused training video reinforcing the lesson.
- Choose from 200+ training videos across IRONSCALES, Wizer, and other partners.

Unlike standalone awareness training platforms, our Security Awareness Training is built directly into IRONSCALES — the same platform protecting your inboxes. Phishing simulations use the same detection intelligence as live email security. When an employee reports a suspicious email, it feeds back into the AI that protects everyone else.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from annual security training?
Annual training is a point-in-time exercise employees forget within weeks. Our approach is continuous: GPT-powered simulations run throughout the year, training triggers based on behaviour rather than a calendar, and employees build lasting habits instead of sitting through a slideshow.
Does this satisfy NIS2 and DORA requirements?
Yes. NIS2 Article 21 requires security awareness programmes for all personnel, and DORA requires staff training on ICT risks. Our training provides campaign logs, completion records, and per-employee risk tracking as documentation.
What happens when an employee reports a suspicious email?
One click sends the email to IRONSCALES for analysis. If confirmed as a threat, it's automatically removed from every other inbox in the organisation — not just the one that reported it.
Do we need to install anything?
No. It's built into the IRONSCALES platform, which integrates via API into Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. The report button appears automatically in Outlook and Gmail for all users.
