Phishing Simulations

Phishing simulations are part of the Arctic Wolf Managed Security Awareness® (MA) program. When enabled, end users receive a phishing simulation Managed by Arctic Wolf simulation once a month. Managed Security Awareness (MA) Plus customers can also create custom phishing simulation emails and tailor the schedule these custom simulations are sent.

Tip:

To make sure your end users can receive phishing emails from the MA program, add MA configurations to your allowlist.

See Add MA to email allowlists for more information.

If a user clicks the link in the managed program phishing simulation email, a new window opens with a remediation training session and informs the user they interacted with a phishing simulation. It reminds them about previously discussed security practices. After the user completes the remediation session, it is reflected in the Secure Culture Dashboard.

Tip:

Routinely visit your Secure Culture Dashboard to identify users who have clicked a phishing simulation link, but have not taken remediations.

See Monitor the Secure Culture Dashboard for more information.

You can manage phishing simulations in these ways:

Note: If your organization uses Microsoft 365 as their email service, you can enhance your phishing simulation experience by adding a report email button. For more information, see Report Email button.
