Phishing remains a frequent entry point for credential theft, malware delivery, payment fraud, and account takeover. Effective analysis requires examining sender identity, message context, links, attachments, authentication results, and reporting channels without interacting with potentially harmful content.

Test details ## Know what to expect. Review the instructions, covered skills, example question themes, and intended audience before beginning. 01 ### Instructions and covered skills Read each scenario carefully before selecting a response. Focus on the evidence provided rather than assumptions about the sender or message urgency. Do not get distracted by persuasive wording, logos, or familiar names. Turn off notifications and complete the assessment in a quiet setting. Choose the action that best protects accounts, devices, and organizational information. Review your selection before moving on. ### Key Areas This test examines the practical judgment used to recognize, contain, and report suspicious email. Candidates assess sender identities beyond the visible display name, distinguish lookalike domains from legitimate domains, and recognize social-engineering patterns such as urgency, authority pressure, secrecy, and unusual payment requests. They interpret common authentication signals, including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC results, as supporting evidence rather than as isolated proof that a message is safe or malicious. The assessment also covers safe handling of links and attachments. This includes inspecting URLs without opening them, recognizing domain mismatches and deceptive subdomains, treating unexpected files with caution, and using approved security tools or reporting workflows. Candidates should understand how phishing can target credentials, financial transactions, cloud-sharing access, multifactor authentication, and business relationships. Reporting and containment are central skills. Strong performance requires preserving relevant evidence, using the organization’s designated reporting mechanism, avoiding replies or forwarded copies that could spread the message, and taking prompt account-protection actions after suspected credential exposure. Scenarios also assess appropriate verification methods for high-impact requests, especially requests involving banking details, payroll changes, gift cards, invoices, or confidential data. ### Recommended Preparation Review examples of legitimate and fraudulent email domains, including typosquatting, character substitution, deceptive subdomains, and reply-to mismatches. Practice reading message headers and identifying the difference between visible sender information, return-path data, and delivery information. Become familiar with the organization’s phishing-reporting button, help desk process, and incident response contacts. Study safe verification practices for requests that involve money, account credentials, sensitive documents, or changes to trusted contact details. Use independently sourced phone numbers, known internal directories, or established vendor contacts rather than contact details supplied by the suspicious message. Review how to reset passwords, revoke active sessions, and notify security personnel when credentials may have been entered on an untrusted site. 02 ### Examples of questions 1. Which email header field shows the address used by the sending system during SMTP delivery? 2. What is the safest way to inspect a suspicious shortened link? 3. Which sign most strongly indicates a credential-harvesting page? 4. Why can a display name not be trusted as proof of sender identity? 5. What should a recipient do after entering credentials into a suspected phishing site? 6. Which attachment type commonly requires extra scrutiny when received unexpectedly? 7. What does a DMARC failure indicate when evaluating an incoming email? 8. Why should a suspicious message be reported through the approved reporting channel? 9. Which detail should be compared when validating an invoice-payment request? 10. What is a safe response to an unexpected multifactor authentication prompt? 03 ### Who this test is best for Employees, support teams, finance staff, administrators, and security-aware professionals who handle organizational email.
