Don’t get caught out—why phishing simulations matter more than ever

Think your team would spot a phishing email? Think again.

Here’s how Sophos Phish Threat helps businesses stay ahead of cybercriminals – and why Delta 365 recommends it.

We’ve all seen them – the dodgy-looking emails asking us to “verify your login” or “click here for an urgent invoice.” Most of us like to think we’d never fall for one. But today’s phishing emails are slick, professional, and convincing – and that makes them dangerous.

That’s where Sophos Phish Threat comes in. It’s a powerful tool that helps your team spot the signs of a phishing attempt before it becomes a problem. And at Delta 365, we think it’s one of the smartest ways to keep your business cyber secure.

What Is Sophos Phish Threat?

In simple terms, Phish Threat is a phishing simulation and training platform. It lets you send realistic fake phishing emails to your team (don’t worry – no real damage is done!) to see how they respond. If someone clicks a link or enters credentials, they’re directed to instant training to learn what went wrong.

It’s learning by doing – and that’s far more effective than a once-a-year security briefing.

Why is it so effective?

Because it’s real. The scenarios are based on actual phishing techniques used by hackers today – including:

• Fake login pages

• Suspicious attachments

• Urgent-sounding requests from “the boss”

• Cloud storage or software impersonations

Plus, the platform includes easy-to-understand training modules tailored to each user’s behaviour. So rather than general warnings, your team gets relevant, helpful insights that stick.

The benefits (in a nutshell)

• Real-world testing: Spot vulnerabilities in your team’s awareness before a real attacker does.

• Customised training: Users who fall for a simulated attack get friendly, helpful training on the spot.

• Clear reporting: Sophos Phish Threat gives you insights into who clicked, why, and how often – so you can improve security in the right areas.

• Ongoing protection: Regular campaigns help keep your team sharp, not just once a year.

At Delta 365, we’re all about helping our clients stay protected in a digital-first world. Phishing remains one of the most common ways hackers gain access to sensitive data – and prevention always beats cure. With Sophos Phish Threat, we can help your team become your first line of defence.

We’ll get you set up, support your first campaigns, and help you understand the results – so you can rest easier knowing your business is one step ahead.
