Human risk management that reduces cyber risk for every employee

Human risk management is the practice of measuring and reducing the security risk that comes from people’s behavior, such as clicking a phishing link, entering data on a fake page or letting training expire. Instead of counting course completions, it looks at how people actually behave, then adapts training and protection to match.

No. Security awareness training teaches people what to look out for. Human risk management measures how people actually behave and adapts training to it, and with Phished it also protects people at the click: the Behavioral Risk Score™ that adapts training also sets how the Phished Assistant protects each risk category.

Clicking a phishing link, entering credentials on a fake login page, opening a malicious attachment, letting security training expire, or acting on a deepfake call that pushes for a payment. Phished groups these behaviors into risk categories such as first-time clickers and repeat offenders.

A behavior-based risk score, risk categories that group people by what they do, adaptive phishing simulations and training, automatic follow-up and reporting you can show auditors. Phished adds what training-only platforms miss: protection at the click, with the Phished Assistant opening suspicious content in a protected view and giving an AI verdict and guidance.

The Behavioral Risk Score™ shows how likely an incident caused by human error is, for each person, each team and the organization as a whole. It is built on phishing simulations, Phished Assistant verdicts, reported emails, training, apps and devices and threat alerts, and compared to national and global averages, so you see whether your human cyber resilience grows.

Phished’s AI adapts phishing simulations to each user profile and level, so nobody gets scenarios that are too easy or too hard. Someone who clicks a fake login page gets more of those scenarios and short anti-phishing training on that exact topic; someone who lets sessions expire gets a reminder that points to what is still open.

Most security awareness vendors stop at training and phishing simulations, and protection lives in a separate tool. Phished trains and protects: the same Behavioral Risk Score™ that adapts training also decides how the Phished Assistant protects each risk category, with a protected view, an AI verdict and guidance at the moment people click.

Groups of people based on what they do and who they are, such as first-time clickers, repeat offenders, expired training sessions, new hires and the C-suite. The Risk Category Dashboard shows how many people are in each category and lets you set its protection and guidance mode.

For each risk category you choose how the Phished Assistant protects people: email interactions (manual), where the user opens the protected view through the add-in; email interactions (automatic), powered by Zero-Incident Mail, which adds a safety banner to every email; and non-email interactions, which cover chat, SMS, QR codes and the browser.

The share of the phishing attack surface covered by the protected view, AI analysis and guidance for a risk category. It shows which channels are covered, such as email links, attachments, chat, collaboration apps, browser links and smishing, and goes up as you turn on more protection.

Follow-up is tied to behavior: reminders go to people with expired training, and a customized follow-up email can be sent from any risk profile in one click, aimed at what the person actually did. The Behavioral Risk Score™ then shows whether it worked.

Yes. Every department and location has its own risk profile with the manager, the number of people, the average risk score, active risk categories, simulation results and what the group is behind on, so you see where support is needed most.

Access to reports with personal data follows your permissions, and people in sensitive departments or locations stay protected in the dashboard. Phished maintains the certifications and data handling listed in the compliance section above.
