Phishing Simulation and Security awareness training.
When it comes to Cyber Security, your employees are the first line of defence.
PHISHING SIMULATION AND AWARENESS
Your team is the first line of defence against cyber threats.
While robust cyber security solutions are essential for protecting your dental practice’s IT infrastructure and patient data, your staff plays a critical role in preventing cyber threats. Human error remains one of the leading causes of security breaches in dentistry, making it crucial to educate and empower your team against cyber risks.
Phishing simulations help test and strengthen your dental team’s ability to identify and respond to phishing attacks. These real-world training exercises mimic malicious emails that could target your practice, allowing you to assess staff awareness and improve security without actual risk.
HOW DOES MANAGED DETECTION AND RESPONSE WORK?
How do Phishing Simulations work?
Our phishing simulations are conducted using pre-built templates on an intuitive cloud-based platform, designed specifically for dental professionals.
These templates replicate real cyber threats – such as fake supplier invoices, fraudulent patient emails, or spoofed NHS communications – that could impact your dental practice. You can select which team members to target, and once
the simulated phishing emails are sent, a dashboard tracks employee responses.
- Real-time insights: The dashboard provides visibility into how many employees clicked a link, opened an attachment, or attempted to share sensitive data.
- Instant learning: If an employee interacts with a phishing email, they are immediately presented with training content that explains the mistake and provides tips on recognising future threats.
- Ongoing improvement: Regular simulations help reduce risk and ensure your team remains vigilant against evolving cyber threats.
Employee Susceptibility
Studies show that up to 70% of employees initially fall for phishing emails, making dental practices a prime target for cybercriminals.
Improvement with Training
After completing five rounds of phishing simulations, the susceptibility rate drops significantly – often less than 10%.
Reduction in Risk
Dental practices that implement ongoing phishing simulations and security awareness training report a 50% reduction in phishing-related security incidents within the first year.
THE BENEFITS OF PHISHING SIMULATION
Secure your practice through your staff.
Strengthened Cyber Defences
By regularly testing and training your staff, you significantly reduce the risk of successful phishing attacks, protecting your practice and patient data.
Reduced Security Incidents
Repeated phishing simulations help lower the chances of data breaches, patient record theft, and financial fraud caused by phishing scams.
Improve Staff Awareness
Simulated attacks and real-time feedback help keep cyber security top of mind for your dental team, fostering a security-conscious culture.
Improved Incident Response
Trained employees are more likely to spot and report phishing emails, helping your IT team respond faster and prevent potential breaches.
Data-Driven Insights
Detailed reports from each simulation provide valuable insights into staff performance and risk levels, allowing you to tailor ongoing cyber security strategies for your dental practice.
Compliance and Risk Management
For dental practices handling sensitive patient data, phishing training can help meet compliance requirements like GDPR and NHS data security standards. Reducing cyber risks can also lead to lower cyber insurance premiums and improved coverage.
Step 1: Planning and Customisation
We select phishing templates relevant to dental practices, such as fake patient appointment emails, fraudulent supplier invoices, or NHS-related scams. Simulations can be customised to target specific team members, departments, or the entire practice.
Step 2: Simulation Launch
Once emails are created, they are sent to your team without prior warning. The system tracks employee actions, providing data on who interacts with the phishing attempts.
Step 3: Real-Time Monitoring and Feedback
A dashboard provides live monitoring. If an employee engages with a phishing email, they receive immediate feedback and educational content, helping them learn from their mistakes in real-time.
Step 4: Detailed Reporting and Analysis
After the simulation, reports highlight your practice’s overall security performance, pinpointing areas where additional training is needed. Over time, this data helps strengthen your cyber security posture and keeps your dental practice protected.
