Phishing is one of the most common attack vectors, and running simulations is critical to staying prepared. Microsoft Defender for Office 365 offers a robust platform to test your organisation’s resilience against phishing attempts. With features like Attack Simulator, training campaigns, and custom threat policies, you can educate your users, identify vulnerabilities, and proactively block phishing emails before they cause harm.
Training campaigns are an essential follow-up to phishing simulations. Employees who fail simulations are automatically enrolled in interactive training sessions designed to improve their security awareness. Here’s how to set up and manage training campaigns:
Assign modules to users who fall for phishing attempts.
Track progress and completion rates to measure effectiveness.
Use prebuilt or custom training templates tailored to your organisation’s needs.
