Pistachio Simulations is a phishing simulation platform designed to train employees to recognize and respond to phishing attacks through hands-on practice. Simulations are tailored to each user based on individual traits such as their role, software usage, and location. The platform handles all logistics automatically, requiring no manual setup from administrators. Difficulty and frequency of simulations adjust dynamically based on each user's performance, with targeted support provided when needed. Simulation categories cover a wide range of real-world phishing scenarios, including financial transactions, credential harvesting, file sharing requests, security notifications, social media lures, government impersonation, invoicing, order confirmations, and more. Simulation types include: - C-Suite Impersonation: Fake requests from executives using authority to deceive - Brand Spoofing: Emails impersonating well-known brands - QR Code Phishing: Scenarios involving malicious QR codes - Sequenced Reminders: Follow-up emails designed to pressure users into acting User interactions are tracked at four levels: no interaction, clicking a suspicious link or button, leaking credentials on a fake webpage, and reporting the email as suspicious. The platform includes an Outlook add-on that allows users to report suspicious emails with a single click. Reported emails are either identified as simulations or forwarded to the IT team for review. When users fail a simulation, they receive immediate feedback explaining what clues they missed, without punitive measures. The methodology focuses on learning through failure in a supportive environment.
