Fusion Markets makes cyber security easy for their employees and their IT Team
As a retail-focused fintech broker, Fusion Markets relies heavily on data. To keep their data, employees, and clients safe, the team decided to partner with Phished for their Security Awareness Training.
Why Fusion Markets chose Phished:
“Our technical defenses have always been solid,” says Fusion Markets COO David Swinden. “But when I read This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends by Nicole Perlroth—about the dangers of cybersecurity vulnerabilities—I realized we were overlooking the human element of our cybersecurity strategy. With phishing attacks on the rise, we know now that every single employee plays a crucial role.”
More security, less work
Swinden reached out to three potential security awareness training providers, but before he even spoke with the others, he was already running a baseline test using the Phished platform. “It was incredibly simple,” says Swinden. “We just created an account, set up whitelisting, and before we knew it, phishing simulations were being sent out. Thanks to the self-service portal, we were up and running in no time. It was all just so easy!”
“What really mattered to us was the automated nature of the platform. Ideally, we didn’t want to worry about the content or timing of phishing simulations ourselves. Phished automates the entire process and tailors each simulation to match the context, language, and skill level of every employee.”
“Phished’s first-line support is highly professional. They guide us through every step. With other providers, you just don’t get that.”
Encouragement over punishment
“Along with automation and first-line support, we really love the leaderboards,” says Swinden. “Before, we had no idea where the weak points and mistakes were. Now, we have a complete view of performance by employee, by department… and across the company as a whole.”
“The platform isn’t about punishment. There’s no ‘gotcha!’ mentality. Instead, each recipient gets an instant automated response explaining how they could have recognized the simulation. Employees don’t feel tricked—they feel like they’re truly learning. That’s what makes this training so effective. And it’s great to see how the platform adapts to the recipient’s context, language, and skills.”
What makes Phished unique?
Fusion Markets refuses to cut corners when it comes to cybersecurity. The focus is on automation, ease of use, and a supportive—not punitive—approach. The platform is incredibly easy to use and gives everyone peace of mind. Employees are now changing their behavior and protecting the company from cyber incidents.
