Storyline Design: Phishing Simulation Demo
I just launched a phishing simulation that's getting some great feedback and I wanted to share it out here.
Instead of using imagery that focus on the level of potential risk (hackers, broken computers, etc.), I designed the course's graphics and interactions to be a more positive experience than other IT security courses I've seen. It's the difference between designing around a scarcity mindset versus an abundance mindset. The training adopts a coaching tone to highlight common strategies to look for in phishing attempts.
Here's the link: Phishing Simulation Sample
Is anyone else out there building compliance courses with delight and engaging visuals at the forefront? I'd love any feedback you may have!

I was going to have a look at the demo, but the first thing you wanted was my email address - given the topic, it put me off.

Hi Marcus
We've done quite a bit of work in this area, initially with out Spotting Phishing Emails video - which covers a lot of the areas that you do in your example. However, we then came to the point when customers were saying - 'What now? We need something which has the same message, but is new'.
So we cam up with three short videos which explain more about how phishing attacks work and the importance of reporting potential phishing emails. You can see all these videos on our Showreel page https://whatyouneedtoknow.co.uk/showreel/
Cyber training is an ongoing thing, and I think the challenge will be how we maintain levels of awareness in new and interesting ways. Personally, I think the simulation approach will be used more and more - where users receive fake phishing emails and are tracked on whether they open them or not. - NicholasYongCommunity Member

Hi Marcus, would I be piling on if I asked you if you would mind sharing the project with me. I am looking for a different look and feel for the same old phishing corporate training and your is so fresh and clean and...well-presented.

That's wonderful Marcus!! Really loved it.
I did try my hand at creating one with google images. It was a pretty basic one. But your's seem way out of the league. It's neat, attractive, simple yet engaging.
Would love to hear how you went about it. I mean the different elements used including the hovering to check the details.
