Phishing & impersonation
Practice independent verification when a message asks for a sign-in, document, payment change, or unusual exception.
For HR & security awareness teams
Cybersecurity awareness games for the moments that matter.
An unfamiliar link. An urgent request. A reason to pause. Turn approved security guidance into short learning games your team can join from any browser.

Make awareness participatory
Give employees a next step to practice.
A security reminder tells employees what matters. A question-based game asks them to choose what they would do next.
Use fictional situations to revisit suspicious requests, reporting routes, and company procedures. HR organizes the session; your security owner approves the guidance and helps explain the decisions.

A short practice sample with fictional workplace situations. Your answers stay in this page and are not saved.
Verify the request
Open the link to see whether the sign-in page looks familiar.
Reply to the same message and ask if the sender is genuine.
Leave the link unopened and verify through a known contact route.
An unexpected chat message asks you to sign in through a new link to review a supplier file. Your fictional company says to verify unusual requests through a known contact route. What should you do?
Answer: C.
The procedure in this example requires an independent check. A familiar name or a reassuring reply in the same conversation does not verify the request. Use the known contact route and follow the approved reporting procedure.
Report uncertainty
Use the approved reporting tool so the security team can assess it.
Forward it to coworkers and ask someone to test the link.
Wait until you can prove it is malicious before reporting.
You are unsure whether a message is suspicious. Your fictional employer asks staff to report uncertain messages through its security reporting tool. What is the best next step?
Answer: A.
You do not need to investigate the message yourself. In this example, the approved route is designed for uncertainty. Reporting gives the security team a chance to assess it without asking coworkers to interact with the message.
Handle an urgent exception
Make the change because the request is urgent.
Follow the verification procedure using established contact details.
Call the new number included in the request to confirm.
Someone claiming to be a senior colleague requests a supplier bank-detail change and says to skip the usual checks. Your procedure requires independent verification before changes. What should you do?
Answer: B.
Urgency and seniority do not replace the procedure. Established contact details give you an independent route to verify the request. Details supplied in the suspicious message are part of the request being checked.
Practice complete
In a team session, missed questions can start a useful conversation. Review the reasoning together, then revisit the concepts that need more practice.
This sample checks three decisions. It is not a certification or a measure of workplace readiness.

Year-round practice.
Plan your October sessions
Make Cybersecurity Awareness Month interactive.
Choose one approved topic each week: verifying unusual requests, reporting uncertainty, protecting accounts, and revisiting missed concepts. Run a short game, discuss the answers, and use the results to plan follow-up.
Keep the page in your toolkit after October. The same format works for new hires, team refreshers, and policy updates.

Awareness practice, guided by your security team.
BrainFusion provides question-based reinforcement. It does not send phishing simulations, monitor employee behavior, or certify compliance. Keep your existing security training, reporting, and recordkeeping processes in place.
Use your security owner's approved procedures when adapting scenarios. The FTC's small-business cybersecurity resources offer additional background for planning.
Before your first session
Questions from training teams.
What are cybersecurity awareness games for employees?
Cybersecurity awareness games give employees practice with security-related questions and decisions. With BrainFusion, trainers can turn approved security guidance into browser-based learning games and review question-level results afterward.
Can we use this for Cybersecurity Awareness Month?
Yes. Build short review sessions around approved topics for October, then reuse or update them during onboarding and later refreshers. The sample on this page is a starting point for discussion, not a ready-made security training program.
Does BrainFusion send phishing simulations?
No. These are question-based learning games. BrainFusion does not send simulated phishing emails, test employee credentials, or monitor security behavior.
Who should approve our cybersecurity questions?
Your security owner or IT provider should check the guidance, answers, reporting routes, and exceptions before a session. HR can coordinate the audience, format, and follow-up.
Do employees need an account or an installation?
No learner account or installation is required to join a game with a session code in a browser. Trainers need a BrainFusion account to create and manage games.
Can game results prove our organization is secure or compliant?
No. Question-level results can identify concepts to revisit, but they do not prove security behavior, regulatory compliance, or completion of a required training program. Use BrainFusion alongside your organization's security training and recordkeeping processes.
