CybSafe's phishing simulation library is updated quarterly with new templates and landing pages, providing valuable learning opportunities.
These updates are delivered automatically to your platform, requiring no manual intervention.
Threat-aligned content
Our content team monitors emerging global and industry-specific threats to ensure your simulations remain relevant. When new social engineering tactics gain traction (such as QR code attacks or seasonal campaigns tied to tax deadlines or major retail events), we develop corresponding templates.
Each template is designed using established psychological frameworks:
Dual process theory, which explains how attackers exploit rapid, emotional decision-making
Cialdini's principles of influence, including authority, scarcity, and urgency
Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions, targeting responses such as fear, curiosity, and greed
This approach ensures your people encounter realistic psychological tactics in a controlled environment where interactions become learning opportunities.
What each update includes
Quarterly releases contain:
New phishing email templates rated according to the NIST difficulty scale (Easy, Medium, Hard)
Landing pages reflecting current credential-harvesting techniques
Templates incorporate documented social engineering incidents to maintain authenticity and relevance.
Release schedule
15-20 new templates are released every quarter on a predictable cadence. Regular updates ensure your campaigns remain engaging and provide ongoing opportunities for skill development.
Automatic delivery
New templates are added to your library automatically. There is no requirement to download content, import files, or submit requests. Your phishing template library stays current without additional administrative effort.
Supporting a learning-focused approach
Every template supports CybSafe's philosophy that phishing simulations are learning opportunities, not tests.
When someone interacts with a simulated phishing email, they receive immediate, supportive feedback through an Intervention page. This approach builds detection skills through positive reinforcement rather than punitive measures.
The NIST Phish Scale provides nuanced difficulty ratings based on cues and alignment, offering deeper insight into why people respond to certain messages, not simply whether they clicked.
