Paris Startup Arsen Launches Cutting-Edge AI Vishing Simulation to Combat Phone-Based Phishing Threats
June 13, 2025
Arsen's simulation stands out from traditional methods by dynamically adapting to employee responses, handling objections, and simulating high-pressure scenarios in various languages and accents.
The module addresses the growing trend of attackers using phone calls for credential theft, highlighting the need for organizations to extend their training beyond email-based threats.
On June 13, 2025, Arsen, a cybersecurity startup based in Paris, launched an innovative AI-powered Vishing Simulation module designed to help organizations combat the rising threat of voice phishing.
This new module utilizes AI-generated voices and adaptive dialogue to create realistic simulations of phone-based social engineering attacks, significantly enhancing employee training.
Organizations can customize the module to replicate real attacker techniques safely and ethically, and it is available as an add-on to Arsen's existing training platform.
Thomas Le Coz, CEO of Arsen, emphasized the importance of preparing all employees, not just executives, against evolving attacks using advanced technology.
With this tool, security teams can train all employees using phone lines, assess organizational resilience to vishing, and develop reflexes against manipulative voice attacks.
The AI voice engine enhances training realism by providing emotionally nuanced, multilingual voices, allowing for customizable scenarios that closely mimic actual attacker techniques.
Early adopters of the module have reported that the simulations feel indistinguishable from real vishing attacks, reinforcing the effectiveness of the training.
Arsen specializes in defending against social engineering threats and offers a comprehensive SaaS platform that includes various simulation types to enhance organizational security.
