Systems and methods are provided for performing simulated phishing attacks using social engineering indicators. One or more failure indicators can be configured in a phishing email template, and each failure indicator can be assigned a description about that failure indicator through use of a markup tag. The phishing email template containing the markup tags corresponding to the failure indicators can be stored and can be used to generate a simulated phishing email in which the one or more markup tags are removed.

Systems and methods for performing simulated phishing attacks using social engineering indicators

A method for establishing a campaign for a simulated phishing attack includes receiving, via a campaign manager, specification of a plurality of parameters for a campaign including at least an identifier of a campaign and identification of users to which to send the campaign, establishing, via the campaign manager, a type of exploit for the campaign and one or more types of data to collect via the type of exploit, storing, by the campaign manager, the campaign comprising the plurality of parameters, and identifying, by a simulation server, the campaign stored in the database to create a simulated phishing email, to be sent to email accounts of the users, using the plurality of parameters of the campaign, wherein the simulated phishing email is to be created to have a link to a landing page comprising the type of exploit and configured to collect the one or more types of data.

Systems and methods for performing of creating simulated phishing attacks and phishing attack campaigns

A method for creating a plurality of campaigns for simulated phishing attacks includes creating, by a campaign manager, a plurality of campaigns for simulated phishing attacks having a plurality of parameters including at least a time schedule, each of the plurality of campaigns having at least one parameter different than other campaigns of the plurality of campaigns, and identifying, by a simulation server from the database, a first campaign and a second campaign from the plurality of campaigns from which to create a first simulated phishing email to send on a first time schedule to email accounts of users of the first campaign, and a second simulated phishing email to send on a second time schedule, different than the first time schedule, to email accounts of users of the second campaign.
