Phishing Simulation for Alberta Businesses

Q: How often do simulations actually run?

Ongoing, not one-and-done. A single test only tells you today's baseline. Simulations run on a regular, ongoing cadence so the picture stays current as your team and the threats they see both change.

Q: What if nobody ever clicks — are we wasting money?

A low click rate is still worth confirming. A strong result still gets tracked over time to catch drift, and simulations also measure who reports a suspicious email, not just who clicks — a low click rate with no reporting habit is a different risk than it looks like.

Q: Could a simulated email get confused with a real attack, or vice versa?

No — they're tracked separately, on purpose. Simulated campaigns are run through a distinct, monitored system, so there's never ambiguity about which is which internally. Real threats are still caught independently by the technical layer of your plan, regardless of what's being simulated.

Q: Can simulations target specific departments, like finance?

Yes — that's often where it matters most. Campaigns can mirror department-specific threats — a fake invoice sent to finance, a spoofed password reset sent to ops — instead of one generic template for the whole company.

Not a single test everyone forgets by lunch. Ongoing, realistic fake phishing campaigns that show you exactly who in your business would click a real one — tracked, measured, and included in every LogosCyber plan.

What It Actually Is

You can't fix a risk you haven't actually measured.

Anyone can guess how their team would handle a fake invoice email or a spoofed password reset request. Phishing simulation replaces the guess with a number: safe, realistic fake phishing emails sent to your team on an ongoing basis, so you know exactly who would click a real one — before an actual attacker gets the chance to find out first.

Simulations are built to mirror what's actually landing in inboxes right now — a fake invoice from a supplier, a spoofed IT password reset, a delivery notification, an executive asking for a quick favour — not a generic template that's easy to spot. Difficulty increases over time, and results are tracked per employee and per department, so the picture is specific instead of a single company-wide guess. What happens after someone clicks — the actual lesson — is what security awareness training is built to handle.

Why This Actually Works

A single test tells you where you stand. Ongoing tests tell you if it's working.

One phishing test is a snapshot, not a program. It tells you today's baseline and nothing else — who would click a fake invoice right now, this week. That number is useful, but it doesn't move unless testing keeps happening.

Run simulations on an ongoing basis and two things start happening: the people who click get a short, specific lesson while the mistake is still fresh, and the whole organization's baseline starts dropping campaign over campaign. It's the difference between a single fire drill and an actual fire safety program — one gives you a number, the other changes the number.

The Jargon, Decoded

Terms you might see, translated.

What the industry calls itWhat it actually meansWhy it matters to you

Baseline TestThe first test, before any trainingA simulation run before anything else changes, so you have a real starting number instead of a guess about where your team actually stands.

CampaignA batch of simulated emails, sent togetherOne round of testing sent to some or all of your team at once — the unit ongoing simulation is actually measured and reported in.

Credential Harvesting PageA fake login page in the testA safe, simulated version of the page a real attacker would use to steal a typed-in password — so you know who would enter credentials, not just who would click.

Escalating DifficultyTests that get harder to spot over timeEarly simulations are easier to catch; later ones mirror more convincing real-world attacks — so your team's readiness keeps pace with what's actually out there.

How It Actually Runs

The process, start to finish.

A campaign is built around real threats

Templates are matched to what's actually landing in Alberta business inboxes right now — not a generic, easy-to-spot template.

It runs without warning, safely

Sent to some or all of your team, tracked in real time — nothing malicious actually happens if someone clicks.

Results get specific, not vague

Who clicked, who reported it, and how fast — broken down by employee and department, so you know exactly where the real risk sits.

Included, Not Upsold

Phishing simulation is in every LogosCyber plan.

This isn't a feature you have to upgrade to get. Every plan gets the same testing and reporting — the only choice across tiers is your Cork Cyber financial warranty level, not whether your team gets tested.
