Employee phishing training that actually sticks
Build a simple phishing awareness habit for Forsyth County small teams — short, repeated practice beats a yearly lecture.

Yearly videos are not a culture
CISA recommends making it easy to report suspicious messages and reinforcing habits regularly. For a five-person Forsyth shop, that can be informal and still effective.
A lightweight program
- Five-minute huddle each month with one real example
- Shared “report phish” email or chat channel praised publicly
- No shame for people who report honest mistakes quickly
- Simulated phish only if you will coach kindly afterward
- Written rule: never change payment details from email alone
Teach pattern recognition, not fear
Show display-name spoofing, urgent CEO fraud, and fake shipping notices. Tie examples to tools your team actually uses (QuickBooks, Gmail, Teams).
Measure what matters
Track reports of suspicious mail — rising reports can be a healthy sign. Track repeat clickers with coaching, not humiliation.
