Why do I need anti phishing training for my employees
Phishing attacks are responsible for over 90% of all successful cyber-attacks, meaning they are by far the most common threat your employees are going to come up against. It’s estimated that there’s a phishing email sent every thirty-nine seconds, with the average person receiving at least one a day. With that high rate of delivery, combined with the number of emails the average employee receives – there’s no wonder that occasionally someone slips up and clicks on something they shouldn’t have.
This is why phishing training is so important. It is designed to educate your employees on what to watch out for, helping them to recognise a phishing email the second it lands in their inbox. This means that they are far less likely to click on any malicious links the email might contain, reply to the sender or carry out any requests made in the email. Through this training, you are giving your employees one of the most useful tools they will need in their day to day working lives.
Protect your organisation by optimising your “human firewall”
As an organisation, you need to be operating at your maximum capacity every day in order to continue functioning effectively. You also need to have complete confidence in your employees that an accidental click by one of them isn’t going to have devastating consequences.
The Boxphish training solution is built on an educate, evaluate and repeat process. This means we will deliver a phishing simulation to your employees every month, testing them on whether they fall for the message in the email and click, or whether they manage to identify it as a phishing attack and avoid. If they fall victim, they are educated on what they should have noticed and therefore their knowledge is improved for the next month, when the process repeats. We find that through this method, we develop what we like to call the Ultimate Human Firewall – that first line of defence within your organisation which comes from the people themselves.
With this firewall in place, your organisation can begin to function with an increased level of ease – the worry of a phishing attack slipping the net taken away and a new found confidence in your workforce established.

Simulate cyber security threats
Test your employees via phishing simulations. Gain access to existing simulations such as Microsoft 365, HMRC, Dropbox and Deliveroo along with custom simulations specific to your staff. All data is stored so you can analyse click rates throughout the training programme and track progress.
Educate staff to spot phishing scams
Awareness is key when it comes to cyber threats to end users. Tailored learning journeys are created to address problem areas identified in the simulation testing. Training is delivered via videos, guides and quizzes which increase end users knowledge. A managed cyber security service reduces the burden on IT resources.

FAQ
What is anti phishing training?
Anti phishing training teaches employees how to spot, avoid and report phishing emails, texts and calls. It combines theory, simulations and immediate feedback to build durable habits.
How does anti phishing training work?
Users complete short modules covering phishing red flags, then receive realistic simulated attacks. Those who click are gently re-educated, while those who report are recognised, reinforcing positive behaviour.
What are the warning signs of a phishing email?
Unexpected senders, urgent or threatening language, mismatched URLs, generic greetings, requests for credentials or payment, unusual attachments and slight misspellings of trusted domains.
How effective is anti phishing training?
Boxphish customers typically reduce phishing click rates from around 30% to under 5% within a year, while report rates often grow more than tenfold.
How often should anti phishing training be delivered?
Monthly micro-modules combined with at least one phishing simulation per month is the proven approach for sustained behaviour change.
What is the difference between anti phishing training and phishing simulation?
Training delivers knowledge; simulation tests it. The most effective programmes combine both so learners practise real-world responses, not just answer quiz questions.
Does anti phishing training cover smishing and vishing?
Yes. Modern phishing extends well beyond email, so Boxphish includes SMS smishing, voice vishing, QR-code quishing and AI deepfake awareness.
How do you encourage employees to report phishing?
Provide a one-click report button, celebrate top reporters, share anonymised results, avoid blame for honest mistakes and embed reporting into onboarding and ongoing communications.
Can anti phishing training stop ransomware?
It can dramatically reduce the risk because most ransomware enters via phishing. Combined with technical controls, trained users form a critical layer of defence against ransomware delivery.
How do we measure the success of anti phishing training?
Track click rate, report rate, repeat offenders, time-to-report and overall human risk score over time. Boxphish dashboards present these as boardroom-ready metrics.
