Prompting Users To Annotate Simulated Phishing Emails In Cybersecurity Training

Abstract:

Aspects of the disclosure relate to dynamically generating simulated attack messages configured for annotation by users as part of cybersecurity training. A computing platform may generate a simulated attack message including a plurality of elements and send the simulated attack message to an enterprise user device. Subsequently, the computing platform may receive, from the enterprise user device, user selections annotating selected elements of the plurality of elements of the simulated attack message. The computing platform may thereafter identify one or more training areas for the user based on the user selections received from the enterprise user device, generate a customized training module specific to the identified one or more training areas, and send the customized training module to the enterprise user device. Sending the customized training module to the enterprise user device may cause the enterprise user device to display the customized training module.
