# Top 3 Phishing Templates for Higher Education teams

## For industry-specific testing, here are the top 3 phishing templates curated on Higher Education.

In recent years, cyberattacks on K-12 school systems and higher ed institutions have increased. Not only do these attacks disrupt educational operations, they also impact students and teachers.

This video previews our top 3 phishing templates for Higher Education organizations to use for testing their teams with industry-specific content.

1.  A new announcement from **Google Classroom** asking students to join a training from a meeting link. Google Classroom is widely used among education professionals, so this simulation is a great way to test how end users may be too quick to click for a well-known brand name like Google. 

2.  An upgrade notification from **Blackboard** would sure get the attention of your end users who may be using the application everyday. This phishing email template is simple, but with a familiar branding and  promising access to premium service, this test could be easily overlooked.

3.  A password reset alert from **Canvas** may look real enough for end users to click a suspicious link out of a sense of urgency. This test may lead them to believe that they need to update their credentials to gain access to their account.
