Arsen, the cybersecurity startup known for defending organizations against social engineering threats, has announced the release of its new Vishing Simulation module, a cutting-edge tool designed to train employees against one of the fastest-growing attack vectors: voice phishing (vishing).
This new module uses AI-generated voices and adaptive dialogue systems to simulate live phone-based social engineering attacks — such as those impersonating IT support desks — in a realistic and scalable way.
Fighting the Rise of Voice-Based Social Engineering
With attackers increasingly turning to phone calls as a vector for credential theft and initial access, organizations must extend their training and testing capabilities beyond email. Arsen’s Vishing Simulation helps companies identify risk exposure and train employees to respond confidently and securely in real time.
Unlike traditional red team exercises or pre-recorded vishing attempts, Arsen’s simulations are powered by AI, enabling each call to:
- Adapt dynamically to an employee’s responses
- Handle objections or hesitation with lifelike, unscripted dialogue
- Simulate realistic, high-pressure attacker behavior across languages and accents
“Our AI vishing platform leverages state-of-the-art technology to train each and every exposed employee, rather than focusing on VIPs. It’s time to use AI to help the good guys better prepare against this next generation of attacks,” said Thomas Le Coz, CEO at Arsen.
Realistic, Scalable, and Customizable
Arsen’s AI voice engine delivers emotionally nuanced, multilingual, and even accent-aware voices, with customization options that allow organizations to replicate real attacker techniques without compromising safety or ethics.
The Vishing Simulation module is now available as an optional add-on to Arsen’s social engineering training platform. It’s accessible as a standalone module, and can be bundled into current licensing agreements.
Enabling Security Teams to Train at Scale
By bringing this level of realism and automation to voice phishing simulations, Arsen enables security teams, CISOs, compliance officers, and risk managers to:
- Train every employee with a phone line — not just executives
- Benchmark organizational resilience to vishing threats
- Build reflexes and awareness in the face of manipulative voice-based attacks
Arsen’s early adopters have praised the realism and interactivity of the simulations, describing them as indistinguishable from real attacks.
