Dynamically Adapting Cybersecurity Training Templates Based on Measuring User-Specific Phishing/Fraud Susceptibility

Last updated:

Abstract:

Aspects of the disclosure relate to measuring user-specific fraud-susceptibility behavioral scores and dynamically generating customized cybersecurity training modules using fraud-susceptibility behavioral scores. A computing platform may generate a fraud-susceptibility personality survey and send the fraud-susceptibility personality survey to an enterprise user device. Subsequently, the computing platform may receive information indicating how a user of the enterprise user device responded to the fraud-susceptibility personality survey, calculate a fraud-susceptibility behavioral psychology score for the user based on the user information, and identify a user-specific predicted failure rate on one or more cybersecurity training modules based on the fraud-susceptibility behavioral psychology score. Based on the user-specific predicted failure rate and using a behavioral psychology training module, the computing platform may generate, and send to the enterprise user device, a dynamically adapted cybersecurity training template, which causes the enterprise user device to display one or more customized cybersecurity training modules.
