Vishing has become a major vector for corporate fraud. For example, AIB saw a 79% year-on-year increase in vishing attacks in early 2025, including a case where a business customer nearly lost €41,000 during a scam call. Additionally, in a notable case disclosed by Google and labeled UNC6040, attackers targeted Salesforce users at around 20 organizations via voice phishing, tricking employees into installing a fake app giving full access to corporate data.

The new module within Kaspersky Automated Security Awareness Platform provides real-world case studies, interactive lessons, and practical scenarios to help users identify red flags and adopt safer communication habits. Alongside this release, Kaspersky ASAP now supports over 30 languages – including newly added Vietnamese and Indonesian – across all user interfaces and training materials, making cybersecurity awareness more accessible to global teams.

“As social engineering evolves, so must the way we educate people about it. Vishing is no longer just a threat to individuals it’s increasingly being used to target organizations, leading to financial losses, data leaks, and reputational damage. Our new vishing module equips users with the knowledge to defend themselves against voice-based deception a threat that is becoming increasingly sophisticated and personal. We help companies prepare their employees to recognize and resist this type of attack. Since vishing is often a gateway to more serious breaches, it’s vital to build awareness across a wide range of related topics.” said Tatyana Shumaylova, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Kaspersky Security Awareness.
