Should I simulate a cyberattack on my company?

Is your team prepared to detect and respond to a cyberattack before irreparable damage occurs? That’s precisely the goal of cyberattack simulations—to test, strengthen, and prepare.

In 2024, according to KnowBe4, 65% of organizations conducted phishing simulations, but many limited themselves to just one annual test.

These simulations function like emergency drills, crucial for uncovering weaknesses and reinforcing defenses. They not only assess the company’s systems but also gauge the team’s readiness. In practice, the benefits are clear:

• Exposed vulnerabilities: Simulations help identify hackers’ entry points by mimicking real-life attacks before they happen.
• Better-trained teams: Employees learn to detect and avoid threats effectively.
• Enhanced security: Simulation results allow companies to refine policies and strengthen protection strategies.

These tests go beyond prevention—they help build a true cybersecurity culture within organizations, ensuring compliance with requirements like NIS2.
