Behaviour-first simulations

Phishing Simulations

Train your team to spot real threats, safely, calmly and in the flow of work. Phishing is the number one way Australian organisations get breached. Cybermate's simulations build real-world instincts, without the fear and without the shame.

Why phishing simulations matter.

Phishing, spear phishing and SMS scams are still the most common way attackers get in, and they're getting harder to spot as AI makes fake emails and texts read like the real thing. Cybermate's simulations put people through safe, realistic versions of these attacks, then back it up with a short, friendly lesson the moment it counts. That's how real-world instincts get built, not from a slide deck once a year, but from practice.

Two ways to run simulations.

Hand it to Cybermate, or keep full control. Either way, the risk scoring, fake websites, feedback pages and training recommendations work the same.

Automated (Cybermate-Managed)

  • Monthly AI-generated email and SMS simulations
  • Trending Australian scam templates, kept current
  • Behaviour-based risk scoring, no setup required
  • Training assigned automatically when someone slips
  • Monthly reporting, delivered to leaders

Manual (Admin-Managed)

  • Admin control over timing, templates and recipients
  • Optional SMS simulations, switched on when you're ready
  • Review and approve AI-generated templates before they go out
  • Cybermate still handles risk scoring, fake websites and feedback pages
  • Same training recommendations as the automated mode

Four ways people get tested, because scammers use all four.

Real attacks don't stick to one channel. Neither do Cybermate's simulations.

Email phishing

Realistic, trending lures, styled on real Australian scam patterns.

Spear phishing

Targeted, personalised attempts that mirror the kind of scam a specific role is likely to see.

SMS (smishing)

Text-based scams, the fastest-growing channel for parcel, bank and MyGov impersonation.

In-app simulations

Simulated prompts inside the tools people already use, Teams, Slack and the browser.

Built by AI, grounded in what's actually happening.

Cybermate's engine draws on trending Australian scam data, industry impersonation patterns, your own branding if you want it, each person's behaviour history and your organisation's risk profile. From that, it generates a realistic phishing email, an optional SMS, a matching fake website and a unique tracking link, all in your brand's tone, none of it generic.

  • Inputs: trending scam data, industry patterns, optional branding, behaviour history, risk profile
  • Outputs: realistic email, optional SMS, fake website, unique tracking link

Risk scoring that matches the moment.

What someone does when a simulation lands tells us what training will actually help, so the follow-up fits the behaviour instead of punishing it.

Level 1, didn't report

Risk: Low. A micro-lesson, two to three minutes, reinforces what to look for next time.

Level 2, clicked the link

Risk: Moderate. A short module, five to seven minutes, walks through the warning signs that were missed.

Level 3, submitted credentials

Risk: High. A full module, ten to fifteen minutes, with a check-in. This is the moment that needs real support.

"Level 3, a user submits credentials. This indicates high vulnerability and an urgent need for intervention."

Fake website safety

Simulated login page, impersonating a trusted brand
Scrubbed

No real data is stored. All fields are scrubbed instantly, and the person's redirected straight to a friendly learning page.

The fake website is safe by design.

When a simulation includes a fake website, it mimics the impersonated brand and quietly tracks hover, click, typing and submission, enough to understand what happened, nothing more. No real data is stored, and every field is scrubbed instantly. The person's redirected to a friendly learning page, never a dead end and never a scare.

Caught in Simulation

You clicked a simulated link 3 minutes ago. No worries, it happens.
90-sec read

Here's what this scam got right, and the one sign that gives it away.

A friendly landing, not a gotcha.

Anyone caught by a simulation lands on a page that explains what happened in plain English: the signs that were missed, how the scam worked, and a short video or interactive module to make it stick. A link to the full lesson is right there if they want more. Behaviour-first, every step of the way.
