Phishbuster




WHAT IS PHISHBUSTER & HOW DOES IT WORK?

PhishBuster is an interactive, gamified cybersecurity platform designed to empower users in identifying and defending against phishing attacks. It replaces outdated, passive awareness sessions with an engaging, game-like experience built on real-world attack simulations, AI personalization, and progressive learning.

Why It's Needed:

Phishing remains one of the most dangerous and successful cyberattack methods globally. While organizations invest heavily in security infrastructure, the human element remains vulnerable. PhishBuster addresses this by building recognition skills, encouraging secure habits, and boosting cybersecurity awareness through motivation, habit-building, and immersive experiences.

THE PROBLEM WE WANT TO ADDRESS


Key Security Challenges:

  • Increasing frequency and sophistication of phishing attacks
  • Human error leading to the majority of security breaches
  • Ineffective, traditional awareness training
  • Regulatory requirements demanding ongoing security education
  • High-risk sectors (banking, healthcare, government, tech) require engaging, scalable solutions

WHAT ARE WE PROPOSING TO SPECIFICALLY DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT?


PhishBuster brings together modern technology, gamification, and AI-driven personalization with the following key features:
  • Real-World Scenario Library:
    • Simulates phishing emails, fake websites, SMS, and social engineering messages.
  • AI-Powered Personalization:
    • Adapts scenarios to match user behavior, risk profile, and learning pace.
  • Gamified Learning Experience:
    • Progressive levels, badges, leaderboards, and rewards to drive engagement.
  • Real-Time Feedback & Risk Scoring:
    • Instant feedback helps users learn from mistakes; risk scores track user vulnerability.
  • Admin Performance Dashboard:
    • Allows managers to target weak users and departments for extra support.
  • Multi-Channel Simulation:
    • Covers phishing attacks beyond just emails — including SMS, websites, and social tactics.
  • LMS/HR System Integration:
    • Seamless onboarding into existing corporate learning platforms.
