This solution reduces end users' mistake level by 70%
From Kaspersky and basically everybody that provides security awareness training, there should be more of a drive from their side to promote the product. It's becoming more of an essential product than a luxury. If you hire somebody, it should be a prerequisite that they pass these exams and you give them 15 or 20 minutes a day to do that. I think there should be a drive towards it. When you get audited, cybersecurity awareness training is on the audit list, so it is a box that needs to be checked by corporations. A lot of them just don't see how important it is until they're hacked. It's not just about being hacked and about their data, it's about their reputation.

Carlos Roberto Da Silva - PeerSpot reviewer
Significantly reduced phishing attacks in my customers' environments by training their users
Sophos should offer tests where we can emulate new attacks happening now. For example, people use traveling companies, so we could simulate a new test based on that. Sophos could update tests because we have tests for old attacks. We need new emails with new attacks, something that's happening now. Phish Threat has a lot of features that need to be improved, such as reporting. This is not just with EDR but with Sophos Central as well. For example, if we wanted to find the top ten machines that had been attacked the most last month, we could identify what the problem could be, whether it's the user or something happening with the machine. The report could say, "Last month, 20 machines were affected," maybe thanks to a virus or malware.

Overview

More than 80% of all cyber-incidents are caused by human error. Enterprises lose millions recovering from staff-related incidents – but traditional training programs usually fail to achieve the desired behavioral changes and motivation. Understanding what lies behind any learning and teaching process helps to build an effective educational program. Our programs not only deliver knowledge, but – more importantly – change habits and form the new behavior patterns that are the real goal of awareness training.

Sophos Phish Threat emulates a range of phishing attack types to help you identify areas of weakness in your organization’s security posture, and empower users through engaging training to strengthen your organizations defenses.
