Guided Setup for VIPRE SAT

Written By Marissa Fegan (Super Administrator)

Updated at September 15th, 2023

There are several things that will need to be completed before you are able to deploy VIPRE Security Awareness Training. 

What we need from you

Sometimes it can be confusing to try to figure out what you need to do to get started. Here we eliminate that confusion and lay it all out as simply as possible.

  • Company Name
  • Customer Contact Name
  • Customer Email Address (both primary and admin)
  • Product Selection
  • Number of users/learners
  • List of end-users in a CSV file
  • Confirmation that all prerequisite action items have been completed

The majority of these items are obtained when you respond to the Onboarding/Account Setup email.

Action Items Checklist

On top of the required items above, we've put together a check-list of things you'll need to complete on your end to ensure VIPRE SAT and PhishProof works properly.

Info

The following information discusses white-listing via domain. If your organization prefers to white-list via IP address, please contact us for that information.

 

 

  • Notify your IT department that we will be sending simulated phishing emails from outside of your network
  • The following white-listing tasks must be completed in Intrusion Detection System/Firewall, Client-side Email Filters, and Server-side Email Filters to ensure emails are delivered successfully to the end-user:
    • Domain name of the SMTP Relay used by the application: smtp.mailgun.org
    • Location that hosts the landing pages in your web filtering software (if applicable): *phishproof.com
