Phriendly Phishing is growing up!

Since launching in 2016, Phriendly Phishing has aimed to be Australia’s leading phishing simulation and cyber security training platform to support our valued partners and their customers cyber resilience.

Phriendly Phishing was originally established as part of Shearwater Solutions, which was Australia’s largest independent cyber security company before being acquired by CyberCX in 2019.

Over the last 4 years, Phriendly Phishing has continued to grow and scale its offering as part of CyberCX - now the next stage of our evolution is to ‘move out of home’ and into our own so we can continue to improve the way we serve our partners.  

From 1 October 2023, Phriendly Phishing will commence trading independently as Phriendly Phishing Pty Ltd.

What is changing?

For our valued partners, there is no change to the people, technology, security and services we provide.  

What is changing is the entity that provides your service and our bank account details, which will be communicated to you individually.
