Genuinely AI-native architecture.
Like SimuPhish, Adaptive was built for the AI-threat era from scratch. OSINT-driven personalisation, deepfake simulation, and AI-generated spear-phishing are core, not add-ons.
SimuPhish vs Adaptive Security · Side-by-side comparison
SimuPhish vs Adaptive Security. The honest breakdown.
Adaptive Security is a strong AI-native competitor: multi-vector, OSINT-aware, and with a very high NPS (94). They move fast and their product is genuinely good. The gap is MENA and live defense. Adaptive is US-centric, has no Arabic-native content, no SimuShield equivalent, and limited Teams and Slack simulation.

Where Adaptive wins
What Adaptive does well. Honestly.
We don’t do hit pieces. This is a fair account of where Adaptive genuinely leads.
Deepfake voice and video simulation.
Adaptive simulates deepfake executive video and voice calls, a growing attack vector in finance and C-suite targeting. Their deepfake engine is mature.
Very high customer satisfaction.
An NPS of 94 is among the highest in cybersecurity. Customers like Figma and Stone Point Capital report strong outcomes. The product is well-regarded.
Where SimuPhish wins
The SimuPhish difference. Across every region.
AI-native. Multi-vector. Deployed across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas.
MENA and Arabic-native. Not an afterthought.
SimuPhish has a Dubai hub, Gulf-Arabic dialect content, and MENA regulatory mappings (SAMA, NESA, NCA). Adaptive has none of this.
SimuShield: live defense when it matters most.
When your CFO gets a suspicious WhatsApp message at 11pm, SimuShield is there. Adaptive trains people; SimuPhish also defends them in real time.
Teams and Slack simulation. Built in.
Collaboration-platform phishing is where attackers are moving. SimuPhish simulates Teams and Slack natively. Adaptive's coverage here is limited.
SimuPhish operates across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas — with Gulf-Arabic dialect content, MENA regulatory mappings (SAMA, NESA, NCA), and a London hub for European deployments.
