IRONSCALES releases GPT-powered solution for designing phishing simulation campaigns at scale

IRONSCALES, the AI-powered email security leader protecting 13,000 global customers from advanced phishing attacks, is announcing the general availability of its Phishing Simulation Testing solution, a GPT-powered training simulation designer engineered to boost employees' awareness of socially engineered phishing attacks. 

GA for IRONSCALES' Phishing Simulation Testing solution is reflective of the ways that today’s phishing attacks intelligently—and rapidly—breach enterprise security. According to Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report, the median time for users to click on a phishing simulation link was just 21 seconds; moreover, the median time to submit sensitive data to the simulated phishing site was just 28 seconds. These humbling statistics reveal a greater trend in the report, where human error factors into over 68% of all successful breaches. 

The present conditions of phishing attacks reveal an increasing need for proper training and testing among employees, according to IRONSCALES. Many enterprises may resort to crafting personalized phishing simulation campaigns to turn this phishing “tide,” yet this endeavor significantly drains enterprise resources on an already sparsely employed landscape (as noted by this ISACA survey which revealed that 59% of security teams are understaffed). 

IRONSCALES' Phishing Simulation Testing works to alleviate both the pressures and fears born from increasingly effective phishing attacks, offering GPT-powered, comprehensive training for employees. Leveraging PhishLLM—IRONSCALES' proprietary LLM which is trained on millions of crowdsourced data points—the Phishing Simulation Testing solution empowers employees with the ability to recognize and respond to sophisticated, targeted phishing attempts with personalized campaigns, according to IRONSCALES. 

“The new GPT-powered training feature from IRONSCALES has completely revolutionized the way our team approaches cybersecurity training,” said Elliot Franklin, CISO at Fortitude Re. “Instead of a generic phishing email that is pretty easy to spot during a simulation test, my users were really challenged with this tool, which helps them to remain vigilant.” 

“As a CISO, it gives me the extra confidence to know who is truly aware of all the elements of a sophisticated phishing email—things such as domain, hyperlinked text vs. URL, etc.—compared to users who may need additional training and support. I appreciate how seamlessly we can deploy phishing simulation testing, saving my team valuable time, while increasing the knowledge of our employees, and the general state of awareness of our organization,” continued Franklin. 

Affording organizations with the ability to rapidly create highly personalized, socially engineered spear-phishing simulation campaigns at scale, IRONSCALES’ Phishing Simulation Testing offers the following key features:

• Generate up to 2,000 spear phishing email simulation in just one hour.
• Craft campaigns from a wide variety of templates with different introductions and closings to enhance realism and variability. 
• Access a streamlined process for setting up campaigns, saving security teams’ time and effort in producing employee testing initiatives. 

“IRONSCALES remains committed to enhancing cybersecurity through continuous innovation,” said Eyal Benishti, CEO at IRONSCALES. “The GA of our GPT-powered Phishing Simulation Testing solution is a testament to our dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions that empower organizations to stay ahead of the latest, most advanced cyber threats. The human element still plays a role in the overwhelming majority of cyberattacks. As such, it’s imperative that organizations use every tool at their disposal to enable employees to be security assets, rather than liabilities.”
