SMS phishing simulations

Adaptive is the only provider approved to run true SMS phishing simulations that behave exactly like real attacks.

Text message exchange where an automated HR alert falsely requests Employee ID for payroll validation, followed by a reminder that it was a phishing test and HR does not request IDs through text.
Voice phishing simulations

AI-generated voice calls and voicemails use custom personas to create highly convincing vishing scenarios.

Your questions, answered.

What is a phishing simulation?

A phishing simulation is a controlled test that mimics real-world phishing attacks to evaluate how employees respond. It helps identify risky behaviors, like clicking malicious links or sharing credentials, and turns those moments into training opportunities that improve security awareness over time. Many organizations use phishing simulation platforms like Adaptive Security to run these simulations and provide employees with ongoing training.

How often should you run phishing simulations?

Run phishing simulations at least monthly to build pattern recognition and reduce click rates over time. Increase frequency during onboarding, after incidents, or when rolling out new threat scenarios like AI-generated voice or SMS attacks. Remember, consistent testing drives long-term behavior change.

Do phishing simulations include deepfakes, vishing, or smishing?

Yes, advanced phishing simulations on platforms like Adaptive Security now include deepfakes, vishing (voice phishing), and smishing (SMS phishing). These modern formats mirror real-world attack vectors and help employees build resilience against sophisticated, multi-channel threats.

Can AI help improve the accuracy of phishing simulations?

Yes, AI can dramatically improve the accuracy of phishing simulations by generating realistic, personalized attack scenarios using data from public profiles, breached credentials, or typical communication patterns. These AI-powered simulations better mimic real threats, helping teams identify and reduce human risk more effectively.

Human risk is an organization’s biggest cybersecurity gap.
