Phished helps organisations construct their Human Firewall. We do so using a fully automated Security Awareness Training platform that trains employees to recognise and properly deal with real cyber attacks. This is how we contribute to a safer internet for both people and organisations.

Phished is the market leader in its segment and operates all over the world. Thousands of organisations are already working with the platform and we can count on a strong and extensive network of partners and resellers. To continue our growth, we’re looking for new colleagues.

The Phished Academy is a cornerstone of our platform: it teaches end-users both the basics of cybersecurity and in-depth knowledge about cyber threats. The knowledge gained is then tested through adapted phishing simulations. Both the Academy and the simulations are adapted to the level of the end user.
