İşNet has announced its new service, “Phishing Simulation,” designed to enhance employee awareness and resilience against human-centric cyber attacks. By controlled simulation of real-world attack scenarios, the solution measures employee awareness levels regarding phishing while helping organizations mitigate security risks.
As digitalization accelerates, cyber attacks are becoming increasingly targeted and persuasive. Social engineering tactics executed via email, SMS, messaging applications, or phone calls rank among the most critical security vulnerabilities for organizations due to their potential for rapid, severe consequences. Attackers specifically target employee behavior to compromise passwords, card details, identity data, and corporate access credentials.
Data from Verizon’s “2025 Data Breach Investigations Report” (DBIR) underscores the critical role of the human factor in data breaches, demonstrating that phishing and credential harvesting remain among the most prevalent threats facing organizations.
Key Features of İşNet Phishing Simulation
- Behavioral Analysis: The service enables organizations to measure employee awareness against social engineering risks, identify vulnerable behaviors, and pinpoint security gaps with clarity. It supplies measurable security data to help minimize human-error risks and prevent potential data breaches.
- Realistic Scenarios: Utilizing tailor-made, realistic scenarios, employees learn firsthand how to respond during actual cyber incidents. Ready-to-use, sector-specific templates cover categories such as delivery notifications, invoice alerts, password reset requests, human resources notifications, and CEO fraud (executive spoofing).
- Multi-Lingual Support: Backed by a platform offering Turkish and multi-lingual support, simulation campaigns can be customized for organizations across various scales and industries, translating theoretical security training into permanent corporate culture through experiential learning.
- Comprehensive Management Reporting: Simulation processes track employee behavior in real time, delivering granular reports to management. Metrics include click-through rates, credential submission rates, password-sharing attempts, suspicious email reporting rates, and department-specific security trends. This empowers leadership to monitor security culture accurately and back mitigation actions with quantifiable data.
Commenting on the new offering, İşNet Deputy General Manager Murat Dereli stated:
“In cybersecurity, the human factor must be treated as an integral part of operational security discipline alongside awareness campaigns. An organization’s resilience against attacks is strengthened not only through technology investments but also by measuring, analyzing, and continuously developing employee behavior. With our Phishing Simulation service, we offer organizations both a measurable testing environment and a sustainable security awareness framework.”
Regulatory and Compliance Support
The İşNet Phishing Simulation service also aids organizations in fulfilling awareness and monitoring requirements mandated by regulations such as the KVKK (Personal Data Protection Law) as well as standards like ISO 27001 and PCI DSS.
Offering end-to-end management—complete with automated campaign tools, deep analytics infrastructure, departmental metrics, and trend analysis—İşNet aims to better equip organizations against human-centric cyber threats while building sustainable workforce awareness.
