PeopleSec Security Awareness Training   

The strategic training campaigns start with simulated phishing attacks at differing levels of sophistication. These attacks are tracked and recorded, then used to promote an agile training environment. If the employee takes negligent actions within the phishing email, “Just in Time” training and follow-up emails are used to improve the employee’s awareness. To keep security front of mind, users need ongoing, entertaining, and straightforward content that is customized to the needs of the individual and delivered to their inbox on a regular basis.   This education is powered by our artificial intelligence named LORA. LORA is the Learning Objective Results Analyzer and the Artificial Intelligence behind the NextGen Human Firewall™. LORA customizes learning experience to the needs of the individual employee and adapts phishing emulations to their specific needs. LORA’s understanding of each employee’s weaknesses and strengths allows her to customize content and help mitigate human weaknesses. The data gathered is the then put together in a spreadsheet and monitor and updated frequently. Along with LORA, a Threat Alert Newsletter will be sent out that keeps employees updated on current malicious phishing attacks and methods to avoid becoming a victim. Once the training program reduces the risk of phishing to a 1% click through rate. PeopleSec will then provide individual education and focus group training to attempt to completely eliminate the risk phishing poses to Example Company. In doing so, PeopleSec targets this “High-Risk” training to employees who are the highest threat to Example Company‘s security. PeopleSec drives security for the human risk factor at your organization by continuously improving each individual’s understanding of phishing threats.
