Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have all of our staff who regularly use a computer as a part of their job function complete Infosec training once a year. As a public school, we want to reduce our exposure to Phishing, Ransomware, and such. We also want to help our staff not fall victim at home. We also deal with a LOT of PII and we need to remind staff that it needs to be protected.

Pros and Cons

Brief and to the point
Engaging graphics
Just enough questions to check on learning
Easy to use on the "Back End" with adding new users and scheduling trainings

When re-sending a training invitation or checking on a staff member's progress, you must open the campaign, then click on the Information Icon. This is kind of cryptic.

Return on Investment

The staff stays on their toes when an email looks Phishy. They do not want me to see their name on the naughty list if they fall for our simulation.
Because it is quick and to the point, staff does not rebel at the thought of "another" mandate.

Support Rating

Any questions I've had have been quickly answered. EX How to resend a training email. Click on the campaign, open the information icon, etc.

Likelihood to Recommend

This is very well suited to our educational environment. The training is quick and to the point. The graphics are engaging and appropriate. We also use Phishing simulations to keep our staff on their toes. A complex entity or one that deals with missile launch codes might prefer a more robust training.

Infosec, Easy to setup and fun to take Phishing
