Webroot plans to launch a phishing training platform using assets it acquired from Securecast, the company announced today.
With the acquisition, Webroot is unveiling a beta of its Webroot Security Awareness Training platform. The platform is designed to allow companies to operate simulated phishing attacks and test their employees ability to recognize bogus emails after undergoing a training course.
