Trellix has announced the launch of Trellix Phishing Simulator, an advanced platform designed to empower organizations in the fight against phishing attacks by proactively identifying and mitigating employee vulnerabilities.
As phishing continues to be a leading cause of security breaches, often exploiting human fallibility, Trellix’s new solution aims to bridge the gap left by traditional security awareness programs, which frequently fall short in effecting real behavioral change among employees.
Empowering Security Teams with AI-Driven Simulations and Analytics
Integrated as a companion to Trellix Email Security Cloud, the Phishing Simulator equips security administrators with a powerful set of tools for crafting highly realistic phishing simulations, delivering targeted and dynamic training, and measuring the overall impact of their security awareness efforts through comprehensive analytics.
Leveraging large language models (LLMs) and generative AI (GenAI), the platform can generate relevant, up-to-date phishing templates that reflect current attack trends observed in the wild.
Security practitioners also retain the flexibility to create, test, and deploy custom simulation templates, ensuring campaigns are tailored to the unique risk profiles and business contexts of their organizations.
The versatility of the Trellix Phishing Simulator extends across a broad spectrum of attack vectors, including sophisticated scenarios such as business email compromise, whaling, and the growing trend of QR code phishing (quishing).
According to the Report, Simulations can be fine-tuned based on an array of factors, including employee roles, levels of risk, geographic region, and industry-specific threats.
To accommodate varying levels of user awareness, the platform supports different difficulty levels, promoting incremental learning and realistic challenge escalation.
Personalized Training and Actionable Insights Drive Security-Aware Culture
Trellix goes beyond mere simulation by incorporating personalized, interactive training that is automatically triggered when users fail a simulated phishing attempt.
Employees are immediately directed to remediation modules that reinforce learning through automated tips and cue training-delivered via user-friendly landing pages.
This “in-the-moment” education approach targets behavioral change at its most opportune time, reinforcing security concepts while the lesson is fresh.
A key strength of Trellix Phishing Simulator lies in its analytics and reporting capabilities.
Security teams gain access to in-depth, actionable data on employee performance, from granular behavioral history to identification of individuals or departments that may require additional attention.
The platform’s predictive analytics anticipate emerging risks, while automated scoring systems and executive-focused reports help stakeholders at every level understand program effectiveness and areas for improvement.
Designed with usability in mind, the platform introduces streamlined workflows and intuitive wizards, enabling even lean security teams to quickly launch, manage, and iterate on phishing campaigns with minimal manual intervention.
This focus on automation and experience minimizes administrative overhead while maximizing training impact.
What differentiates Trellix Phishing Simulator from traditional offerings is its orchestration of advanced AI-powered automation, its tailored attention to the human element of cybersecurity, and the deep integration of simulation, training, and analytics within a unified ecosystem.
With these capabilities, organizations can effectively reduce their risk profile by identifying and closing employee knowledge gaps before real threats exploit them.
Furthermore, the solution supports compliance with security awareness training requirements and facilitates improved communication and alignment between security administrators, C-level executives, and frontline employees.
By leveraging Trellix’s Phishing Simulator, organizations are better positioned to foster a pervasive security-aware culture, enhancing their overall resilience against the ever-evolving tactics of cybercriminals while optimizing both resource allocation and training effectiveness.
