Client & problem
Client: CodeLab – A Tech & Software Solutions Company
CodeLab experienced multiple phishing attacks, leading to data breaches and compromised employee credentials. Their existing cybersecurity training lacked engagement and failed to provide real-life simulations, leaving employees vulnerable to sophisticated threats.
Challenges Faced:
🔴 High Phishing Click-Through Rates – Employees struggled to recognize phishing emails, leading to frequent security breaches.
🔴 Lack of Real-World Simulations – Training was theoretical and text-based, failing to simulate real phishing scenarios.
🔴 Low Employee Participation in Cybersecurity Training – The existing program did not engage learners, making it ineffective.
🔴 High IT Workload Due to Manual Incident Reporting – Suspicious emails were not reported consistently, increasing IT workload.
CodeLab needed an interactive, scenario-driven training to ensure employees could detect and mitigate phishing threats effectively.
