Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to dynamic and automated spear phishing management. A computing platform may identify users to receive a simulated spear phishing message. In some instances, the computing platform may receive a very attacked persons (VAP) list and may identify the users to receive the simulated spear phishing message based on the VAP list. Based on historical message data associated with a first user, the computing platform may identify message features associated with the first user. Using a predetermined template and for a first user account linked to the first user, the computing platform may generate a first spear phishing message based on the message features. The computing platform may then send, to the first user account, the first spear phishing message.
