\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Enter the \u201cTemplate name\u201d and \u201cTemplate description\u201d to help identify and describe the purpose of your template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Type in any relevant \u201cTag\u201d for better categorization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Choose the difficulty level by clicking on options like \u2018Beginner\u2019,\u2018Intermediate\u2019, \u2018Advanced\u2019., based on the complexity of the template.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Click on \u2018Private\u2019 if you wish to make this template accessible only to your organization. (By default templates are private)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Step 5: Specify Email Details:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Type \u201cSender\u2019s Name\u201d in the field provided.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    • Type the \u201cEmail subject\u201d to define the subject line of the phishing email.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Step 6: Adding Content to Your Template:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      You have three options for adding content to your phishing template:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      WYSIWYG Editor:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Directly edit or add content to your template using the What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor. This option allows for a hands-on approach to customizing the content with formatting options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Email to Generate Template:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      You can mail your template to templatehelp@tikaj.com. The content of the sent email will be used to generate your phishing template. This method is useful if you want to use an actual phishing attempt or a specific email format as a base for your template.
      <\/strong>
      Upload an EML File: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      If you have an email saved as an .eml file, you can upload this file directly. This option is convenient for using pre-existing email content or importing templates from other sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 7: Select Default Awareness content<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      You can add default awareness content with template that will be shown to the phished user, to aware about such phishing emails.
      Also you can choose domain to serve your awareness contents in “Advance options” while selecting content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 8: Add an attachment (Optional)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Before completing your template in PhishGrid, utilize the \u201cAttach File\u201d or \u201cAdd Attachment\u201d feature found in the template editor to include a document, PDF, or any non-malicious file to your phishing email. Select this option, choose a relevant and safe file from your computer, and
      confirm the upload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Best Practices for Using Attachments in Phishing Templates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Relevance:<\/strong> Make sure the attachment is relevant to the scenario you are simulating. For example, a fake invoice for financial-themed phishing or a bogus internal report for spear-phishing targeted at specific departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Safety:<\/strong> Ensure the attachment is harmless and does not contain any actual malicious code. The goal is to educate, not to harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      File Type Awareness: <\/strong>Be aware of the file types that are commonly flagged by email security systems. While it\u2019s important for simulations to be realistic, you don\u2019t want your educational emails to be automatically blocked or cause undue alarm.
      <\/strong>
      Instructional Value:<\/strong> Consider using the attachment as part of the learning process. For instance, you could include tips on identifying malicious attachments within the document, providing immediate
      educational value when the target opens it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
