I use Sophos Phish Threat to test employee security awareness. Essentially, my clients utilize Phish Threat to ensure that users are not clicking on suspicious emails or links. It is a simulated campaign that I set up, so it is not a major threat, however, it allows me to identify vulnerable human resources within an environment.

I have a customer who faces problems with phishing, and they wanted to have Sophos Central mail separate emails from spam or phishing emails, for example, by using SPS verification. But the user is the weak point. And the customer wanted to train their users and test their knowledge. We made a proof of concept for this customer and applied Phish Threat to around 100 users out of almost 8,000 users. The customer was happy to see that 100 users received the phishing test, an email, and just ten or 12 users clicked on it. The users were then directed to the training videos. The customer felt it was a great solution and told all their customers about it. CSOs and CIOs mainly value the solution.

The primary use case of Sophos Phish Threat is to educate users on identifying fraudulent or spam links, thereby preventing them from clicking on malicious links.

Sophos Phish Threat is primarily used for email. It is used for filtering and securing your email.

Sophos Phish Threat product is the solution we integrated into our infrastructure when I became the Chief Information Security Officer. It is a good solution because it is used for sensitizing our staff to the risk linked to information security. Additionally, we measure and confirm the efficiency of staff after awareness campaigns. If they are not fully aware then they have to complete the training again.

The major use cases attached to the solution stem from the fact that my company caters to the needs of a lot of customers who use the solution and haven't faced any problems with it or any malware, spyware, or ransomware attacks.

The solution is mostly used in the banking sector when they want to have penetration testing. They use this tool to check if they are compliant with the policies and procedures of the financial institute. That use case was one I was told to be engaged with and aware I am of that.

Sophos Phish Threat is a phishing simulation email platform.

The solution is primarily used to help users be aware of threats. We can train users to help them understand how to work with the security features, security threats, and security attacks. It is like a training center.

We are a solution provider and I am currently implementing this security product for a financial institution.
