In this NachoTuesday webinar, Asif from CyberReady discusses their AI-powered platform that automates and enhances cyber security awareness training for employees. CyberReady offers continuous phishing simulations, just-in-time training based on user interaction, and awareness content covering various online and offline security topics. Aoft emphasizes that effective training should be ongoing, contextual, and engaging, debunking myths such as the necessity of a zero click rate and the effectiveness of purely theoretical or one-time mandatory training. The platform aims to simplify the process for companies with automated campaigns and a focus on quality over quantity in training simulations.

Key Talking Points:

• Effective Cyber Security Training is Continuous and Contextual, Not a One-Time Event: Due to employee turnover and the ever-evolving nature of cyber threats (including new methods like QR code attacks and AI-driven phishing), ongoing training is crucial to maintain a strong security posture.
• Click-Through Rate (CTR) in Phishing Simulations Should Not Aim for Zero; Realistic Difficulty is Key: A zero click rate often indicates overly simplistic simulations. Maintaining a slightly higher rate with varied and challenging simulations provides more effective learning and better prepares employees for real-world threats.
• Hands-On Simulation and Just-in-Time Feedback are More Effective Than Theoretical Training Alone: Combining awareness content with practical phishing simulations that provide immediate, context-specific feedback helps employees better understand and remember how to identify and avoid cyber attacks.
