In the early days of security awareness, admins would download "Free Phishing Templates" from GitHub. Today, that strategy is failing.
Type 1: The 'Used Car' Problem
Static templates are, well, static. Once an employee sees the "Prince of Nigeria" template once, they know it forever. If you just rotate through a library of 50 stock templates, your employees aren't learning vigilance; they are just memorizing your library.
Type 2: The Filter Problem
Microsoft and Google are smart. If thousands of companies use the exact same "Netflix Password Reset" template, the spam filters learn it instantly. Your simulation won't even reach the inbox.
Type 3: The Context Problem
A template from 2020 about "COVID-19 Policy" looks ridiculous in 2025. Templates age poorly. Relevance is key to a believable simulation.
The Solution: Dynamic Generation
Modern platforms like PhishFirewall don't use static templates. We use AI to generate unique variations of emails based on current events, industry trends, and the specific role of the employee.
