As organizations face increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats, staying ahead of the game requires more than traditional phishing simulations. By incorporating dark web data, phishing simulations can be significantly more realistic and effective.

 

Jericho's Security incorporates dark web data into our phishing simulator to create significantly more realistic and effective employee training to recognize and prevent phishing attacks. This is crucial for staying ahead of cyber threats, protecting sensitive data, and maintaining business continuity. Incorporating dark web data into phishing training simulations can help organizations better equip employees to safeguard against these attacks.

 

Incorporating dark web data into phishing training simulations provides several benefits:

  • Realism: Dark web data reflects the actual tactics used by cybercriminals, making simulations more realistic and effective.
  • Timeliness: Dark web data is constantly updated, so simulations can be adapted to reflect the latest threats
  • Customization: Dark web data can create customized simulations targeting specific industries or job roles.

The dark web is a part of the internet that is not searchable by typical search engines and requires specific tools. It is frequently utilized for illicit activities, such as the sale of stolen data and credentials. Phishing emails can appear more convincing by incorporating dark web data, including PII, social media, and account information. Jericho Security’s dark web integrations can help businesses create realistic, generative AI emails to train their users to recognize even the most sophisticated phishing emails.
