A Phished Case Study
Ipcos, a provider of engineering services for the chemical and petrochemical industries, faced a significant cybersecurity challenge after an actual phishing incident occurred. Despite having highly trained staff, nearly half of their employees were susceptible to phishing attacks. This prompted management to seek a solution, leading them to the vendor Phished for its training platform.
The solution implemented by Phished involved running regular, simulated phishing exercises to train and coach Ipcos's 70 employees. This positive and constructive approach focused on guidance rather than punishment. As a result, Phished helped Ipcos dramatically reduce its phishing susceptibility rate from 45% to just 13% within four months, significantly improving overall cyber awareness and creating a culture where security is a living topic.
