About This Live Demo
Phishing is the leading threat facing higher education institutions, and it’s getting worse with the widespread use of AI.
Attackers have moved well beyond spelling errors and suspicious links. With AI now generating emails that achieve click-through rates more than four times higher than traditional lures, even experienced professionals are being fooled.
In this live demo, we’ll walk you through our Phishing Simulator, a hands-on platform that lets your security team send realistic, controlled phishing campaigns to your own employees. You’ll see exactly how susceptible your organization is, where the weak points are, and how to close the gaps before a real attacker finds them first.
Whether you’re a security manager, IT lead, or business owner trying to understand your risk exposure, this session will give you actionable insights you can take back to your team.
We’ll cover campaign setup, reporting dashboards, targeting by role or department, and how to pair simulations with training to drive measurable behavior change.
Key Takeaways
- See a live phishing campaign built in real time. We’ll construct a realistic simulation end-to-end during the session, so you understand exactly what your employees receive.
- Understand your organization’s true risk exposure and track key metrics to demonstrate training effectiveness to your leadership and board.
- Discover how AI is changing the attack surface. We’ll show you real examples of AI-assisted phishing and explain why traditional defenses are struggling to keep pace.
- Walk away with a repeatable simulation framework, including how to target by role, set campaign frequency, and tie results directly to training outcomes.
- Q&A
Organizations that combine phishing simulations with ongoing, behavior-focused security awareness training reduce their susceptibility by up to 86% within a year, and drop their click rate to 1.5%.

Why Phishing Your Staff Is Effective
Employees are often your institution’s weakest link. Even well-trained employees are busy, distracted, and conditioned to be helpful. Phishing exploits this by using urgency, authority, and familiarity to bypass rational judgment. A convincing email from a “colleague” or “IT support” is often easier to execute than breaking through technical defenses.
Sending simulated phishing emails to your users gauges their ability to recognize and report potential phishing emails, identify potential areas of weakness, analyze if training is working, and help build a security-minded workforce.
