This feature addresses the problem of only recording end user IP addresses when they complete the phish learning experience causing confusion and inconsistencies in phish reporting.

By updating the phish reporting mechanism to record IP addresses when users click on a phish instead of when they open a learning experience, this feature solves the problem by providing clear and consistent data throughout reports.

Implementing this feature leads to increased credibility and accuracy in phish reporting, as IP addresses will be reliably recorded during the phish interaction, and organisations can trust the data for dispute resolution.

By adopting this feature, businesses can achieve enhanced data integrity, driving overall growth and success through improved trust and reliability in phishing simulation results.

Manual interventions, routine tasks, and human error in processes all slow down human risk management initiatives and productivity on the platform.
