What is the Gone
Phishing Tournament?
It’s an online phishing tournament that uses real-world simulations to establish accurate phishing clickthrough rates and additional benchmarking statistics for end user behaviors.
Who Should Participate?
Any organization that wants to measure their phishing click rate and other benchmarks against other participants in the same industry, region, and size range.
Why Should You Register?
By basing benchmarking data on a single phishing template deployed within a pre-determined period, the Gone Phishing Tournament provides organizations worldwide with the actionable insights they need to establish and grow a culture of cyber security awareness.
This year’s edition of the event will take place in October 2022 to coincide with Cyber Security Awareness Month.
Every organization's free phishing simulation will reach its pre-determined list of participants using the same phishing template during the simulation period. This approach ensures click rate data is accurate and objective, facilitating data-driven comparisons to an organization’s peers.
Global Phishing Simulation Event
Co-sponsored by Microsoft, the Gone Phishing Tournament will use an email template from Attack simulation training, part of the capabilities included in Microsoft Defender for Office 365. Attack simulation training is an intelligent social engineering risk management tool that uses context-aware simulations and hyper-targeted training to educate your employees, and measures behavior change all on an automated platform, simplifying the design and deployment of security awareness training.
