Description

Sophos Central Phish Threat

Sophos Central Phish Threat is an automated security awareness training and phishing simulation platform that helps to educate end users and build an organization’s “human line of defense”. Social engineering, credential harvesting, and spear-phishing continue to be the top methods used to deliver phishing attacks, and Phish Threat enables IT administrators to simulate real-world phishing attacks, test employee vigilance, and automatically send interactive training to employees who click on simulated lures. It’s fully managed in the cloud-based Sophos Central console and offers detailed analytics and reporting to enable organisations to systematically minimise human risk.

Netmate Information Technology Services is a company that provisions, configures, and manages Sophos Central Phish Threat for enterprise environments in the UAE, GCC, Kenya, and Nepal. Our certified cybersecurity engineers help regional organisations select suitable campaign templates for their region, sync user directories, schedule automated training, and keep executives compliant with reporting.

Capabilities Comparison

Common Use Cases

An enterprise with multiple offices in Dubai, Nairobi, and Kathmandu was subjected to a high volume of spear-phishing and credential-harvesting email attacks targeting staff accounts. To mitigate this threat, Netmate IT Services deployed the Sophos Central Phish Threat solution to all regional sites, and automated monthly phishing simulations were added, as well as direct integration of Microsoft 365 Outlook report buttons. In just six months, employee reporting of suspicious emails jumped up significantly, and simulated click-through rates went down substantially in all departments.
