Proofpoint: Create Attachment Campaign

Question

How do I create an Attachment Campaign?

Answer

This campaign tries to get the user to open a simulated malicious PDF, DOCX or XLSX file attachment. When the user opens the file they are presented a Teachable Moment or a standard message with a link to the Teachable Moment.

  1. Under Tools, click Security Awareness, followed by Launch Platform
    • The Security Awareness console opens.
  2. Navigate to Phishing 
  3. Select New Campaign
  4. Choose Attachment Phishing Campaign
  5. Type name in the Campaign Title field
    • Required and must be unique
    • No end users will see the campaign name, so make it relevant and obvious to other administrators and yourself so it is easily locatable
  6. Select one or Multiple Phishing Templates Campaign Email Templates
    • Filter on Language, Category and Average Failure Rate (AFR)
  7. Edit Template - for both editing existing template and creating template from scratch

    • Choose category from drop-down list
    • Filter by Language
    • Select Specific Teachable Moment

Note: Language will default to the regional settings in the user's browser.  If Multilingual is selected, the user will be able to select the language from a drop down menu in the upper right hand corner of the Teachable Moment.

 

  1. Data collection - select the date to stop collecting click data and to stop presenting Teachable Moments to end users
    • Never end data collection or disable Teachable Moment OR
    • End data collection and disable Teachable Moment (set date/time or link duration)
