Sophos
Introduces Phish Threat Attack Simulation and Training Solution

with
New Analytics and Multi-Language Support

SINGAPORE – Apr. 10, 2018 Sophos
(LSE: SOPH), a global
leader in network and endpoint security, today announced the expansion of
its Sophos
Phish Threat phishing attack simulator and training solution to Europe and
Asia. With enhanced dashboards and new analytics to track organisational risk
and employee performance, Phish Threat simplifies a key part of an
organizations security strategy – employee awareness and training. With the
capability to choose from hosting locations in Ireland, Germany or the US,
organisations worldwide can now access multi-language, interactive security
training from within the Sophos Central security management platform.

Phishing remains an easy access
route into organisations for today’s ransomware payloads and data breaches.
With 41 percent[1] of
organisations seeing an attack on a daily basis, employee training remains
critical to maintaining effective security. Sophos Phish Threat automates the
entire training process and provides visual analytics to identify vulnerable
employees. As the only security awareness training programme from a leader in
IT security, it can be managed alongside email, endpoint, and network security
from one console for improved risk management and incident response.

Sumit Bansal, Managing Director,
ASEAN and Korea at Sophos, said, “With unprecedented advancements in technology
and newer workloads, organisations must not neglect the weakest link in the
security chain – people – normally seen as the easiest point to breach. According
to a recent study, phishing was seen as the leading threat to cybersecurity in
the Asia Pacific region[2].
This demands for the need to invest in training employees to understand the
fundamentals of cybersecurity. Not only will this provide them with a strong
cybersecurity hygiene, but also equip them better to spot threats such as
phishing.”

Phish Threat enables IT managers
to identify susceptible employees and manage relevant real-world phishing email
simulations to deliver more effective training sessions from within Sophos
Central. Attack templates and training are available in nine languages and constantly
updated based on Sophos’s global awareness of current threats. When errors are
made, individuals are automatically given corrective training to learn from
their mistakes. Phish Threat also provides the analytics and reporting metrics
to allow tracking and measurement of overall business risk and security posture
at an organisation or individual level. With benchmark data available on
employee phishing susceptibility against global norms, training can be fully
tailored, and data can be used to enhance security policy across Sophos Central
to deliver a multi-layered security strategy against phishing and social
engineering attacks.

Pricing and availability details
are available from Sophos Partners worldwide.
