Targeted phishing simulation to assess and improve employee cybersecurity awareness.
Country: Egypt
Client Industry: Financial
Background
XEye Security was commissioned by a mid-sized financial firm in Cairo to evaluate their workforce's resilience against social engineering attacks. The organization had never conducted phishing drills before and expressed concern over email-based breaches. We designed and executed a tailored phishing simulation campaign, aiming to identify gaps in staff awareness and deliver practical training where needed.
Challenges
1. Employees clicked on simulated phishing links with high frequency
2. Several credentials were submitted through fake login portals
3. Lack of understanding around email spoofing and domain impersonation
4. No prior internal training on phishing or social engineering threats
