Abstract
Traditional cybersecurity awareness programs often struggle with engagement, scalability, and the ability to measure real behavioral change among users. To address these challenges, this project presents the development of a Phishing Simulation and Awareness Portal using Google Workspace tools. The system is designed to simulate real-world phishing attacks in a controlled environment and educate users through interactive, micro-based lessons. Built with Google Apps Script, Gmail, and Google Sheets, the platform automates the creation, deployment, and tracking of phishing campaigns, while maintaining real-time event logging and analytics. It also provides administrators with a simple, centralized interface for managing email templates, campaign configurations, recipient data, and awareness metrics. By integrating simulation and training within the familiar Google ecosystem, the system eliminates the need for external applications and ensures ease of deployment across organizations. Ultimately, this project aims to enhance user vigilance, reduce susceptibility to phishing threats, and promote a culture of proactive cybersecurity awareness through continuous education and data-driven feedback
