Why Automated Phishing Simulations Fail — And How Managed Security Awareness Training Makes the Difference

If you’re running automated phishing simulations in the UK just to tick a compliance box, you’re not protecting your business — you’re playing cybersecurity theatre.

Many companies deploy out-of-the-box phishing simulation software and generic staff cybersecurity training, hoping it’ll be enough. But here’s the reality: attackers are adapting fast, and if your team isn’t properly trained to recognise real-world threats, you’re leaving the door wide open.

The Problem with Basic Phishing Campaigns

Automated, one-size-fits-all campaigns are:

• Too generic: Easy-to-spot emails teach staff nothing useful.
• Boring: Repetitive content causes fatigue and disengagement.
• Irrelevant: Different departments face different risks — training must reflect that.
• Unmanaged: Left unchecked, these tools become “fire-and-forget” systems that serve compliance but not security.

If this sounds familiar, your security posture isn’t improving — and that’s what matters.
