Security News > 2020 > August > SAFE Phish: Phish testing and training redefined

Known as SAFE Phish, it's designed to let security teams create training exercises using real-life, de-weaponized campaigns that target their organizations and employees.

"With SAFE Phish technology, end-users can safely be exposed to real-life, de-weaponized phishing attacks to make training more effective and provide a data-driven picture of which employees are most at risk. Our research has shown that end-users who have taken Mimecast Awareness Training are 5.2 times less likely to click on dangerous links. We're very excited about how SAFE Phish simulations can further help increase the impact of our security awareness solution."

Because SAFE Phish results act as a security feed, data from phish testing can be incorporated into the Mimecast SAFE ScoreTM dashboard, which is designed to calculate individual user risk using four factors - engagement, knowledge, sentiment, and bad URL clicks.

"SAFE Phish and the SAFE Score dashboard are designed to work together to transform the way risk is measured," said Mandy McKenzie, director of product management for Mimecast Awareness Training.

"Mimecast SAFE Phish is engineered to provide welcome capabilities at a time when streamlining and automating processes has become a huge focus for CISOs and their teams," Madon said.
