AI-powered security awareness and phishing simulation platform
Phished trains employees to resist phishing and social engineering through simulated attacks, interactive training, and behavioral risk scoring. The company is squarely in a sales-scaling phase—26 of 35 open roles are in sales, hiring velocity is decelerating, and nearly every pain point maps to go-to-market infrastructure (partner ecosystem expansion, sales operations, customer success scaling). The tech stack (PHP/Laravel/MySQL) is a lean, stable foundation typical of awareness platforms, with no major tech migrations or AI tool adoptions visible in the data.
Phished is a cybersecurity awareness company based in Leuven, Belgium, serving mid-market and enterprise organizations seeking to reduce human-error-driven security incidents. The platform combines phishing simulations, behavioral training, threat reporting, and real-time threat intelligence. The company's flagship Behavioral Risk Score continuously assesses organizational security posture. Phished operates across Belgium, Germany, the United States, and Pakistan, with a heavily sales-oriented team structure (26 sales roles across 35 total positions) and deliberate focus on partner channel development as a primary growth lever.
Phished builds on PHP, Laravel, MySQL, and Redis for the backend; Figma and Sketch for design; Storybook for component documentation; and GitHub for version control. The stack reflects a focused, maintainable approach typical of SaaS security platforms.
Primary initiatives center on partner ecosystem expansion, partner sales enablement, and platform commercialization. Active projects include partner training programs and regional ecosystem scaling, signaling a channel-driven growth strategy.
