How do companies train employees against phishing?

Security awareness programs combine education and simulation. Training explains **phishing** techniques, recognition signs, and proper response. Simulated **phishing** tests provide practical experience identifying real attacks.

Effective programs include: regular training updates (threats evolve), simulated attacks measuring vulnerability, immediate feedback when employees fail tests, positive reinforcement for reporting, and metrics tracking improvement over time.

Training alone isn't sufficient but significantly reduces risk. Organizations with mature awareness programs see substantially lower successful **phishing** rates. Combined with technical controls, training creates layered defense.
