Ashley,

Our institution uses Knowbe4 for this purpose. We have seen great results. We require our full-time staff/faculty to 
complete yearly training that covers basic threats that our users may encounter. This coupled with monthly phishing 
simulations has greatly increased awareness. In fact, users are now overly cautious when it comes to email but this is 
handy when something inevitably get past our spam filter.

I'm happy to answer any specific questions you have via email or phone.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [SECURITY] Internal Phishing Simulation Advice


Good morning,



We want to launch an internal phishing simulation in order to better train our employees on recognizing phishing 
emails. Target participants are university faculty and staff.



Any advice, suggestions, and/or recommendations on how to successfully implement such a simulation would be much 
appreciated. We are looking at possibly using GoPhish or Microsoft's new Phishing Attack Simulator.



Thank you in advance! Feel free to send me a direct email or I am also open to the possibility of a quick phone call.



Warm Regards,
Ashley Valentijn
