Phishing simulations
Phishing is one of the biggest cyber risks for companies. Attackers use deceptively real-looking emails or links to gain access to sensitive data and systems. Our phishing simulations realistically show how vulnerable your company is and help to raise employee awareness in a targeted manner.
How attackers proceed
Spear phishing
Attackers send personalized emails with real names or projects. The high degree of realism makes the messages appear particularly credible.
CEO Fraud / Business Email Compromise
Falsified instructions from superiors or managing directors create time pressure and often lead to ill-considered actions.
Credential Harvesting
Fake login pages collect login data. This data is used for further attacks or sold on the black market.
Malicious Attachments
Attachments with macros or malware appear harmless, but open back doors and infect systems.
Link-Based Attacks & Typosquatting
Deceptively similar domains or shortened links lure users to fake pages or start automatic downloads.
Social engineering on the phone
Attacks are supplemented by calls that confirm phishing emails or generate pressure. This significantly increases the probability of success.
Simulation instead of damage
A targeted phishing simulation allows you to identify weak points in your employees' behavior in a safe and controlled manner. Instead of reacting to a real incident first, we test realistic scenarios, measure reactions and derive specific training measures. This increases routine and vigilance, errors become visible at an early stage and avoidable damage is prevented.
How a campaign works at OTARIS
We carry out phishing simulations as a clearly structured program. Each campaign is customized, documented and delivers usable results. The aim is not to expose, but to sustainably increase awareness and measurably reduce risks.
Preparation
We define objectives, target groups and scenarios. Content, tonality and technical framework conditions are coordinated so that tests are realistic and legally compliant.
Implementation
The campaign is delivered in a controlled manner. Openings, clicks and form entries are recorded, while data protection and compliance are guaranteed at all times.
Evaluation
Results are analyzed anonymously and segmented by role. We provide key figures, trend analyses and prioritized weak points.
Follow-up and training
Based on the results, we carry out targeted training, offer micro-learning and support measures for sustainable behavioral change.
Examples from practice
Phishing attacks are diverse and constantly evolving. Our simulations are based on realistic scenarios that occur in companies on a daily basis. In this way, employees are specifically prepared for the methods that are most frequently used in practice.
Fake login pages
Fake login pages imitate well-known services such as Microsoft or Google and collect access data as soon as they are entered.
CEO fraud
Deceptively genuine emails from supposed executives request bank transfers or sensitive data - often with great urgency.
Malware in the attachment
Harmless-looking files such as invoices or CVs contain malicious code that compromises the system when opened.
Falsified forms
Links lead to forms that request sensitive data. This method combines psychological pressure with technical deception.
More safety through routine
One-off tests attract attention, but lasting security is only achieved through recurring simulations. Regular phishing campaigns raise awareness among employees, train them to deal safely with suspicious messages and reduce the click rate on malicious links in the long term. In combination with accompanying training, security becomes an integral part of the corporate culture.
Why OTARIS is the right partner
Phishing simulations are not a standard product for us, but individually tailored security measures. We develop scenarios that realistically match your industry, company size and current threat situation. Our experts combine technical know-how with didactic experience so that results are not only documented, but also translated into real-life security. In this way, we ensure that your employees become active defenders of your information security rather than victims.
