Lake City Bank prepares employees for realistic credential phishing.

Challenge

Lake City Bank needed to advance an already mature awareness program as attackers adopted more convincing AI-powered phishing and impersonation tactics.

Their workflow with Adaptive

The bank pairs every simulation with short training and builds scenarios around the vendors and platforms employees use. Multi-step simulations replicate real credential-harvesting attacks, while dynamic groups help employees who need more frequent testing receive it.

The result

Lake City Bank reduced phishing failure rates—including against credential phishing attacks—by 87% in a matter of months while making simulations more sophisticated.
