Phishing awareness training

Phishing works because it looks normal. Training teaches people the handful of checks that expose it, and makes reporting second nature.

The warning signs we teach

  • Unexpected urgency, secrecy or pressure to act now
  • Sender names that do not match the real email address
  • Links whose destination does not match the text
  • Login pages reached from an email rather than a bookmark
  • Requests to change bank details or buy gift cards
  • Attachments you were not expecting, especially macros and archives

Beyond email

Phishing also arrives by text message (smishing), phone call (vishing), QR codes, collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams, and social media. Our social engineering training covers these channels.

Reporting: the most important habit

A fast report from one person can protect everyone. We make sure staff have a one-click report button, know what happens next, and are thanked for reporting. Then we test the habit with phishing simulation.

How Forever Systems runs your training programme

We are vendor-agnostic. We will recommend the platform that suits your size, sector and budget, then run it for you so it actually happens month after month.

  • Baseline phishing test to measure where you start
  • Platform selection and set-up, with single sign-on and automatic user sync where available
  • A year-round schedule of short modules and simulated phishing campaigns
  • Reporting for the board, insurers and auditors, showing completion and click-rate trends
  • Joined-up defences: email security, MFA and endpoint protection so training is backed by technology

Forever Systems Ltd provides IT and cyber security services to UK organisations.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between phishing and spear phishing?

Phishing is sent widely; spear phishing is tailored to a specific person or organisation, often using information found online.

Do QR code phishing attacks need separate training?

They are covered within modern phishing awareness modules, because the same principles apply: unexpected requests and login pages you did not navigate to yourself.
