What is the difference between security training with an instructor (in person or remote) and a recorded video course?

In training with an instructor, questions can be answered in real time, examples can be adapted to the industry and the specific roles in the organization, and scenarios that actually occur can be presented. Recorded video courses provide general knowledge, with no adaptation to the organization and no ability to ask questions.

How long does information security training last?

Standard training lasts about 60 minutes and suits groups of up to 30 people. It can be split into two groups, held in several sessions, or combined with a phishing simulation that arrives in the following weeks.

Can information security training be held remotely?

Yes, PhishingU also offers a virtual session (Zoom / Teams / Google Meet) - but recommends physical presence for organizations with concentrated activity. In-person training allows better interaction and the creation of a shared security culture.

What is taught in information security training for employees?

Typical training includes: recognizing phishing emails, vishing calls, SMS smishing, handling suspicious files and links, password and MFA policies, and social engineering scenarios relevant to the role.

How do you measure the effectiveness of the training?

PhishingU recommends combining training with a phishing simulation after 2-4 weeks. This lets you measure whether click rates dropped relative to the baseline measured before the training.

Training tailored to the organization - in person or remote

Information security training for employees
A real session, not a recorded video

PhishingU's employee awareness training is a 60-minute session with an instructor, in person at the customer's office for ₪1,500 or remote (Zoom/Teams/Google Meet) for ₪1,000. The session is based on real phishing scenarios, and at the end the organization receives a certificate of participation in awareness training, which is evidence documenting the training and is not a confirmation of compliance with the law.

After the training - a phishing simulation

PhishingU recommends combining the training with a controlled phishing simulation that reaches employees 2-4 weeks later. This lets you measure whether the training actually led to a behavior change.

In the simulation, an employee who clicks also gets a short training video and a 5-question quiz, as reinforcement before the next training: details.
