Security for remote teams and the AI they use
Security awareness and human risk

Security awareness training and phishing simulation that people actually finish

Most attacks still start with a person: a convincing email, a fake login page, a voice message that sounds like the CEO. Upfortify runs automated phishing simulations and short training modules so your team learns to spot social engineering before it costs you.

Your people are the perimeter now

In a remote company there’s no office network to filter what reaches people. Every inbox, phone and chat app is a way in. Attackers know it: it’s far easier to trick someone into handing over a password than to break encryption. That makes your team’s judgment one of your most important security controls, and judgment can be trained.

What the program includes

  • Automated phishing simulations. Realistic test emails sent on a schedule, varied by difficulty and theme: fake invoices, shared documents, password resets, delivery notices.
  • Just-in-time lessons. Anyone who clicks gets a two-minute lesson immediately, while it’s memorable.
  • Short training modules. Five to ten minutes each, covering phishing, payment fraud, safe remote work, passwords and MFA, and safe use of AI tools.
  • A report button. One click in the mail client sends suspicious messages to the security team, and reporting is tracked as a positive result.
  • Plain-English reporting. Click rates, report rates and trends by team, so you can see risk going down.

The threats we train for

Phishing and credential theft

Fake login pages for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and other apps your team uses daily. Training focuses on checking where a link really goes and using the password manager as a safety check.

Payment and invoice fraud

Business email compromise: a vendor or executive “changing bank details.” People learn to verify payment changes through a known phone number, never the email itself.

AI-powered social engineering

AI-written emails without spelling mistakes, cloned voices on voicemail, and deepfake video calls. The lesson is the same as for any request: verify through a second channel before acting.

Safe use of AI tools

What can and can’t go into chatbots and AI assistants, tied to your AI acceptable use rules. This is the human side of controlling shadow AI.

How it works

Baseline test

An unannounced first simulation shows where you stand today.

Training plan

Short modules assigned by role, with extra focus for teams that handle payments or client data.

Monthly simulations

Varied tests that build the habit of slowing down and checking.

Quarterly review

Results and trends reviewed with you, and the plan adjusted to where risk remains.

Training works best with technical backstops

People will occasionally click; everyone does. That’s why training sits alongside password and MFA management, which makes stolen passwords far less useful, and managed detection and response, which catches what happens if someone does slip.

Frequently asked questions

What is security awareness training?

Security awareness training teaches employees to recognize and report threats such as phishing emails, fake login pages, payment fraud and social engineering calls. Good programs are short, frequent and tied to realistic practice rather than a yearly video.

What is a phishing simulation?

A phishing simulation sends safe, realistic test emails to your staff to see who clicks, who enters credentials and who reports the message. Anyone who falls for it gets a short lesson on the spot, and you see your risk trend over time.

How often should we run phishing tests?

Monthly is a common rhythm for small teams: frequent enough to build the habit, varied enough that people can't memorize the pattern. New hires should get training in their first week.

Does training cover AI-powered scams?

Yes. Attackers now use AI to write convincing emails and clone voices. Modules cover deepfake voice and video requests, AI-written phishing, and the rules for what never goes into AI tools.

Do phishing tests embarrass employees?

They shouldn't. Results are used to target training, not to shame anyone. Reporting a suspicious email is praised, and the program is framed as practice, not a trap.
