What It Actually Is

Your firewall doesn't get tricked by an email. Your employees can.

Every layer of technical security you buy — monitoring, patching, backups — is built to stop attacks that get past the first line of defense: your people. If someone on your team clicks a convincing fake email and types in their password, most of that technical protection never even gets a chance to work.

Security awareness training closes that gap. It's not a lecture. It's safe, realistic fake phishing emails sent to your team on an ongoing basis, paired with short, specific training the moment someone clicks one — so the lesson lands while it's actually relevant, not once a year in a conference room.

Why This Actually Works

You can't patch a person, but you can train one.

A third of employees click a fake phishing test the first time they see one — before any training. That's not a character flaw, it's just what happens when a message looks like it's from your bank, your boss, or a supplier you actually work with. Nobody stops to inspect a sender address when they're moving fast.

What actually changes that behaviour is repetition with feedback. Someone clicks a simulation, they immediately get a short explanation of what gave it away, and the next one gets a little harder to spot. Do that consistently for a year and the click rate falls by 86%. Do it once, in a single onboarding video, and it barely moves at all.

The Jargon, Decoded

Terms you might see, translated.

What the industry calls itWhat it actually meansWhy it matters to you
Phish-Prone PercentageYour team's click rateThe share of employees who click a simulated phishing email before training. It's the number that actually measures your risk, and the number training is meant to bring down.
Spear PhishingA personalized fake emailA phishing attempt written specifically for your business — using a real vendor name, a real employee's name, or a real ongoing project — instead of a generic mass email.
Social EngineeringManipulating a person, not a systemAny attack that works by tricking a human into doing something — clicking, paying, or sharing a password — rather than by breaking through technical defenses.
Micro-TrainingA 2-minute lesson, right when it countsA short, targeted lesson delivered the moment someone clicks a simulation — not a scheduled class weeks later when the mistake is no longer fresh.

How It Actually Runs

The process, start to finish.

1

A baseline test, no shame attached

A safe, realistic fake phishing email goes out to your team to see who clicks — not to catch anyone out, just to establish where things actually stand.

2

Instant training for anyone who clicks

A short, specific lesson is delivered immediately — what gave it away, what to look for next time — while the mistake is still fresh.

3

Ongoing simulations, tracked over time

Regular follow-up tests measure whether the click rate is actually falling, with completion and performance tracking you can see at any time.

Included, Not Upsold

Security awareness training 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.

Common Questions

What business owners ask before signing up.

“Isn't this just an annual video everyone clicks through and ignores?”

Not if it's done right.

Ongoing simulations with immediate feedback are what actually change behaviour. A once-a-year video is exactly the approach the data shows doesn't move the needle.

“What if an employee keeps failing the tests?”

That's useful information, not a problem to hide.

Repeat clickers get flagged so you know exactly where your real risk sits — and can follow up directly instead of assuming everyone's equally prepared.

“Will my team feel like they're being tricked or punished?”

Framed right, it doesn't land that way.

The goal is a safe practice run, not a gotcha. Most employees appreciate finding out how close they came in a low-stakes moment instead of a real one.

“How much time does this actually take from my team?”

Minutes, not hours.

Simulations run in the background. Training only triggers for someone who clicks, and each lesson takes a couple of minutes — not a scheduled block of everyone's day.
