Viewing launched campaigns in PhishGrid is a straightforward process that allows you to oversee the ongoing progress and results of your phishing simulations. Here’s a general guide on how to view your active and past campaigns within the PhishGrid platform:
Step 1: Access Campaigns Section
Log in to your PhishGrid Dashboard.
Navigate to the ‘Campaigns’ tab on the sidebar menu to see a list of all your campaigns.
Step 2: View particular campaigns
Look for the campaign you wish to view. Campaigns are usually listed with details like the campaign name, Number of targets, and launch date.
Understanding campaign statistics
Phish Rate
- The phishing rate is the ratio of users who clicked on a link, opened an attachment, or otherwise interacted with the phishing email in a manner that would have compromised security in a real attack.
- It is calculated by dividing the number of “failures” by the total number of targets in the campaign and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.
Attack Funnel
The attack funnel in PhishGrid visualizes the stages of your phishing simulation from the initial number of emails sent to the final number of users who fell for the phishing attempt. It helps you understand at which stage users are most susceptible and provides insights into how effective the email’s content is at each step. The funnel might show stages such as:
- Emails Sent
- Successfully viewed
- Successfully phished
Phished Targets
The ‘Phished Target’ statistic highlights the specific individuals who interacted with the phishing attempt in a compromising way. This could include actions like clicking a link, downloading an attachment, or providing sensitive information. Understanding who is getting phished can help target subsequent training more effectively.
Overall Statistics
Overall statistics provide a high-level overview of campaign success. This can include metrics such as:
- Total number of targets
- Percentage who opened the email
- Percentage who clicked
- Overall Phish Rate
These statistics help measure the campaign’s impact and effectiveness.
Department Wise Vulnerability
This aspect of content analysis breaks down the data by department, showing which areas of your organization are more vulnerable to phishing attacks. High vulnerability in a particular department might indicate a need for more focused training or policy changes within that group.
Campaign Resources
Campaign resources refer to any content or assets used within your phishing simulation. This could include:
- Email templates
- Landing pages
- Educational material linked within the email
Reviewing these resources can help determine what was most effective or what might need improvement.
Activity Logs
The activity log provides a detailed record of all interactions with the phishing campaign. It can include timestamps for when emails were opened, links clicked, and data entered. The log is useful for tracking the sequence of actions taken by users and identifying patterns in behavior.
By analyzing these components in PhishGrid during content analysis, you can obtain valuable insights into the effectiveness of your phishing campaigns and where your cybersecurity training needs to focus. It allows you to tailor your educational efforts, improve your content, and ultimately strengthen your organization’s defense against phishing attacks.
