Why startups are a phishing target

A startup adds employees and tools quickly, and often has no orderly security process.
Large customers and investors ask about employee training and phishing exercises in security questionnaires.
Access to code, the cloud and customer information is concentrated in a few accounts, so a single breached account may cause wide damage.

Three scenarios that suitstartups

Sharing a document or code

An email that looks like a file share or a project invitation, with a login link.

A message from a work tool

An alert that looks like it comes from a cloud tool, a development system or task management about an account that requires verification.

An urgent request from the CEO

A message that looks like a request from management to make a payment or send access.

The scenarios are general types of requests for practice, with no impersonation of a real brand.

What is measured instartups

Whether new employees fall for scenarios more than veterans, and at what stage the training should happen.
Whether development, sales and operations respond differently to emails that look like they come from work tools.
Whether someone reports a suspicious email, and how fast.

How to prepare the team

Integrate the exercise into the onboarding process for new employees and into a quarterly review.
Document the exercise and the report so they can be attached to customers' security questionnaires.
Decide who receives reports, for example the head of operations or the person responsible for security.

What you get at the end

A summary report with open, click and report rates, and a certificate of participation in awareness training. The certificate is evidence of training that helps meet part of the requirements of Amendment 13; it is not a confirmation of full compliance with a law or a standard. Payment is a one-time payment from ₪999 per campaign (up to 100 employees), with no subscription. See the The full price list.
