Identifying phishing attempts can now be an engaging experience!
Merelbeke, Oost-Vlaanderen Sep 4, 2025 – Sectricity, a firm specializing in cybersecurity awareness and ethical hacking, has introduced its interactive Phishing Swiping Game, branded as “Swishing.” This competitive and intuitive game empowers employees to recognize phishing emails through an enjoyable, accessible, and impactful method.
“Conventional phishing assessments frequently result in frustration and a lack of trust, while e-learning modules often fail to retain user engagement,” states Yves Van Tongerloo, Managing Director at Sectricity. “Therefore, we developed Swishing: a genuinely enjoyable and effective alternative.”
How does it work?
Participants are presented with realistic email scenarios and must swipe left to indicate phishing or right for legitimate messages. In the event of an incorrect swipe, immediate feedback details the overlooked warning signs. This playful approach allows users to develop their ability to identify suspicious cues. Following a period of several weeks, a winner is automatically determined based on their score, accuracy, and level of involvement.
Who is it for?
For IT & Security Managers: It offers a secure and user-friendly substitute for conventional phishing tests, featuring real-time dashboards, risk assessments, and participation monitoring.
For HR & L&D Managers: This provides a motivating and engaging experience for employees, moving beyond tedious mandatory modules.
Perfect timing for organisations
The introduction of Swishing is timely, coinciding with October, which is observed as International Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Numerous organisations are seeking novel approaches to re-engage their staff with digital security protocols. Swishing provides an innovative, interactive, and unobtrusive solution to achieve this objective.
More than just a game
The Phishing Swiping Game seamlessly complements Sectricity’s extensive portfolio of cybersecurity training. It can be effortlessly integrated into established awareness initiatives and new employee onboarding processes. This game adheres to GDPR regulations, is scalable, and delivers measurable results—making it perfect for both small teams and large organisations aiming for outcome-focused training.
“Our aim is to create phishing awareness training that is memorable and genuinely anticipated by participants,” adds Van Tongerloo. “Swishing demonstrates that cultivating awareness can be both enjoyable and readily achievable.”
