A Beginner's Guide to Phishing Simulation Training for Employees
Huntress, Friday, August 28th, 2026
Huntress covers the essentials of running phishing simulation training for employees.
Huntress has published an introductory guide to phishing simulation training. The post starts from the observation that nearly everyone knows what phishing is and many have received or fallen for an attempt, yet organizations still struggle to build a simulation program that changes behavior.
It walks through the essentials: what a simulation program does, how simulated attacks are constructed to mirror real ones, and how to protect an organization by testing users against realistic scenarios.
The audience is teams standing up simulation training for the first time rather than refining an existing program.
