BATON ROUGE, La., Aug. 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TraceSecurity, a leader in cloud-based cybersecurity management solutions, today announced a new platform, TracePhishing Simulator, which integrates simulated phishing attacks and security awareness training to dramatically reduce the risk of social engineering – the number one security threat to organizations today. According to a Forrester Research, Inc. report "Reinvent Security Awareness to Engage the Human Firewall" published December 17, 2014, "One false step by an employee can have devastating effects on an organization." The report continues to say lackluster and informal security awareness programs today are commonplace, and only 22% of information workers are concerned about security at their companies.
TraceSecurity recognizes that the human element is one of the most critical aspects of an organization's security program, but is often neglected. To better equip organizations to prevent social engineering, spear phishing and ransomware attacks, and continuously drive improvement across security and risk programs, the TracePhishing Simulator helps organizations turn their greatest vulnerability – their employees – into a security asset.
Interactive security awareness training – based on 30 years of first-hand experience from the world's most wanted hacker turned IT consultant, Kevin Mitnick – combined with unlimited, simulated phishing tests are delivered in this single turnkey, web-based solution that is designed to mimic real-world attacks without any of the danger. TraceSecurity's TracePhishing Simulator delivers best practice methodology that combats urgent IT security problems and gives executives the insight they need to maximize training ROI and track security compliance.
"With the TracePhishing Simulator, organizations are able to assess vulnerabilities that are inherent within their most overlooked security asset and then reduce susceptibility to breach," said Peter Stewart, TraceSecurity CEO. "With the launch of this new platform, the company continues to enable its customers to be proactive and strategic within their information security management – simplifying how they combat against evolving social engineering attacks."
TraceSecurity will present a complimentary webinar, "Strengthen Your Human Firewall with Social Engineering Awareness Training and Simulated Phishing Attacks" on Tuesday, September 1st at 1pm CST. During this webinar, attendees will learn how the TracePhishing Simulator delivers a best-practice methodology to educate end-users and tests their knowledge for effectiveness.
