PhishGuard detected: This is a simulated phishing email. The domain ctt-correios-pt.com is not official. In a real attack, the consequences could include credential theft, payment fraud, or malware.
The process
The workflow is simple enough for lean teams and structured enough to give management real visibility.
Send phishing tests tailored to your company, your industry, and the tools your team already uses.
Anyone who clicks is redirected to a clear learning page that explains the signs they missed.
Track improvement across campaigns and see where additional training is needed.
Why it matters
Real attacks are fast, persuasive, and often aimed at companies with limited internal security resources. Training needs to be practical, frequent, and easy to maintain.
