Listing updated . Checked by MSP Software .
Sophos Phish Threat is a cloud-based security awareness platform designed to reduce human vulnerability through simulated phishing attacks and targeted training, sold by Sophos on a per-user basis. The platform operates within Sophos Central, Sophos's unified endpoint, network, and cloud management console, and suits organizations seeking integrated security awareness training alongside their broader Sophos security stack.
Phish Threat enables organizations to simulate realistic phishing campaigns using templates informed by SophosLabs' daily monitoring of millions of emails. The platform includes over 30 security awareness and compliance training modules that can be triggered automatically when users fall for simulated attacks, implementing remediation training at the point of need. The platform supports nine languages, allowing multinational organizations to conduct campaigns across their global workforce.
The product includes a reporting dashboard showing campaign results, user susceptibility metrics, and organizational risk levels. An Outlook add-in enables employees to report suspicious emails with one click, and Sophos Phish Threat integrates with Sophos Email to identify users who have clicked malicious links or been warned about dangerous websites, creating a coordinated awareness and prevention approach. Pricing starts from 5 users and scales to 5,000-plus users, though specific per-user pricing is not published. Sophos offers one, two, and three-year subscriptions for standard purchases, plus monthly pricing with MSP FlexConnect for managed service providers seeking flexible consumption-based billing.
Sophos is headquartered in Abingdon, United Kingdom, and has been providing cybersecurity solutions since 1985. The company offers support through a portal with live chat access, knowledge base documentation, phone support including 24/7 options via various support tiers, and community forums. A free trial is available to evaluate the platform before committing to a subscription.
Sophos Phish Threat works well for organizations already using Sophos Central, with strong integration with Sophos Email for coordinated detection and awareness. The per-user pricing model is simpler than some competitors but pricing is not published and requires a quote. Consider this if you need tightly integrated email security and awareness training within the Sophos ecosystem. If your clients use alternative email security vendors, KnowBe4 or Cofense PhishMe may be better fits. Confirm training modules match your compliance requirements and test the Outlook integration with your email setup before deploying.

Yes, Sophos Phish Threat offers a free trial that allows organizations to evaluate the platform hands-on before committing to a paid subscription. The trial provides access to the full phishing simulation and training features, enabling a thorough assessment of whether the platform meets organizational requirements. There is no separate free tier after the trial period ends, so ongoing use requires a paid per-user subscription.
Sophos Phish Threat integrates most closely with Sophos Email, providing coordinated threat detection and user awareness. The product operates within Sophos Central, which can connect to more than 500 third-party tools, suggesting broader integration potential. However, vendor documentation does not specify out-of-the-box integrations with non-Sophos email security vendors. Organizations using email security from vendors other than Sophos should confirm integration capabilities with their vendor before deploying Phish Threat.
Sophos Phish Threat includes over 30 security awareness and compliance training modules that cover both security best practices and regulatory compliance topics. When users fail a simulated phishing campaign, the platform can trigger automated remediation training immediately, delivering targeted instruction at the point where users have demonstrated vulnerability. The platform supports training content in nine languages, enabling multinational organizations to conduct awareness campaigns across their global workforce without requiring translation.
