Annual Cybersecurity Awareness Online Training

Oct 03, 2022

Hello E-learning heroes,

Our company is starting to make plans for our annual awareness online training. For the past two years, we use the format of interviewing with a hacker and broke down the module into small topics.

This year, our team are given green light to build a brand new training. We really want it to be fun and engaging.

I have seen examples such as Phish 101 in Rise and other phishing simulation examples built in Articulate Storyline. I am thinking about Escape Room game or A day of someone's life.

Looking to see any new training ideas that you think are using cutting edge features/technology. We are curious to see examples of how you are presenting the annual security modules so people will take at LEAST one thing out of it.

We are open to everything! Thank you so much :)

Recently completed the Annual Cybersecurity Awareness Online Training and found it to be quite insightful. All employees need to stay updated on cybersecurity practices, given the increasing digital threats. The interactive modules were engaging and not too technical, making the information accessible for everyone. Key takeaways included the importance of strong passwords, recognizing phishing attempts, and securing personal devices. It's a great reminder from JuicyScore that cybersecurity isn't just IT's responsibility; it's a collective effort.

One of the best "training" examples I've seen is this:

The company's IT department sends everyone an email that looks like it's from a shipping company. The message says the person needs to click the link asap to ensure their package will be delivered. (Or the email has another phishing-type message.)

If you click the link, it goes to a company page that lets you know you just fell for a typical phishing email. And, of course, it reminds you about cybersecurity protocols.
The company has an option embedded in Outlook for reporting a suspicious emails. If you do that, you get a message congratulating you for spotting the phish (with a quick reminder about cybersecurity protocols).
I don't know what happens if a person doesn't click the link and doesn't report the email. Ideally, they would get a follow-up message at some point that reminds them about the report-phishing button.

In other words, they provide practice in a safe environment.
