SE-B-13Level 1 · Signal
Identifies voice simulations
- Behavior
- Vigilant
- Level 1 · Signal
A vigilant behavior signal from the simulation platform: during a simulated phone call, the person declined the request, ended the call or verified the caller through a known number.
Classification
- Risk domain One of 9 areas of human risk, from social engineering to readiness and response. Every signal belongs to one.
- Evidence level
- Maturity practices One capability a program performs, scored on its own: See, Understand, Act, Prove, Govern and Culture.
- Leads to The kind of breach the evidence beneath it points toward, each anchored to a Verizon DBIR or VERIS pattern or an FBI IC3 category.
- NIST CSF 2.0

- PR.AT-02
- MITRE ATT&CK

How it is used
Programs count "Identifies voice simulations" per person from Awareness & phishing simulation and read it beside the other Social engineering signals; it feeds 0 cohorts, 0 sequences and 2 breach scenarios.
A "identifies voice simulations" event is evidence of a protective behavior; a vigilant behavior at any step breaks a sequence. It is one event, and it does not cancel the risky signals the same person carries.
