Overall Satisfaction with Infosec IQ
Our company had no cybersecurity awareness training program, and after investigating options and comparing other products, we decided to implement Infosec Institute IQ. We use it to prove brief monthly training for all employees on various cybersecurity topics. Additionally, we use it for a more thorough annual training that all employees must complete. The last thing that we use it for it so publish our company's mandatory security and acceptable use policy (which is tracked/accepted when employees log in to use the training).
- The content for AwareEd training is robust and extensive. Many cybersecurity topics available for training material. As well as the ability to print promotional training sheets that can be displayed in break rooms, training rooms, hallways, etc.
- The built-in phishing simulation templates are great! Recently, Infosec IQ added a new category called "Catch of the Week" that has very realistic phishing simulations that are much more effective and great examples of the types of phishing scams being used today.
- Reporting works very well and provides information that can be shared with department managers so they can have visibility on how well their team members are meeting the cybersecurity training requirements.
- When an employee leaves the company, I would like better visibility or a simpler process to remove that employee from the list of learners in Infosec IQ.
- Some of the canned reports only apply to managers that have at least 10 team members. It would be nice if any size team would show up in the canned reporting.
- I think it might be helpful to be able to create custom assessments for training sessions.
- Monthly training and phishing simulations
- Grading and reviewing how each employee is doing with training.
- Company branding and customization for email templates (this helps for user acceptance). Emails can be customize to match company standards.
- Implementing this has been received positively by most employees. It has helped them to know what to look for and be better educated about cyber threats.
- Provides a "warm fuzzy" to the senior leadership.
- Helps us meet contractual requirements for customers as well as meet government standards.
