Swishing is a phishing swiping game developed by ethical hacking company Sectricity.
It’s a modern, playful alternative to traditional security awareness training — designed to actually be used, remembered, and enjoyed by employees.
Where classic phishing tests often lead to stress and e-learning modules are skipped or forgotten, Swishing introduces a new approach: Users are shown realistic emails and simply swipe left if they think it’s phishing, or right if they believe it’s legitimate. After each swipe, they receive instant feedback — whether they were right or wrong, and what red flags they may have missed.
Each training session takes just 5 minutes and includes a set of 10 email challenges. This keeps the experience light, low-effort, and easily repeatable — perfect for busy teams. The competitive element (with scores, rankings, and optional team challenges) adds motivation, while the simplicity of swiping makes it highly intuitive.
Swishing was built with the realities of modern organizations in mind:
- Fast to deploy
- Mobile-friendly
- No prior knowledge needed
- Fully GDPR-compliant
For IT and Security teams, Swishing offers a meaningful alternative to phishing simulations that often fail to provide reliable insight. Instead of one-off tests, the platform offers continuous learning and a real-time dashboard where you can monitor participation, risk indicators, progress, and team performance.
For HR and Learning & Development, Swishing replaces long, passive e-learning modules with bite-sized microtraining that actually engages people — without interrupting their workday or overwhelming them with technical details. The gamified format improves retention and participation.
Swishing is perfect for:
- Ongoing cybersecurity awareness programs
- New employee onboarding
- Monthly or quarterly security refreshers
- Internal competitions between teams or departments
- Companies looking to build a security culture without fear or resistance
Whether you're training 50 people or thousands, Swishing scales easily — and the built-in admin console makes management effortless.
📩 Train smarter. Swipe safer.
Swishing makes phishing awareness stick.
