Cybersecurity Awareness Simulation Platform 

1. Purpose

The platform aims to:

• Educate users about common and emerging cybersecurity threats.

• Improve incident detection and response behaviors.

• Reduce the risk of security breaches caused by human error.

• Meet compliance and regulatory training requirements.

2. Key Features

✅ Phishing Simulation

• Email-based simulations mimicking real-world phishing attempts.

• Templates covering spear phishing, business email compromise (BEC), credential harvesting, etc.

• Customizable campaigns by department, user role, or threat type.

• Real-time analytics on who clicked, reported, or entered credentials.

Interactive Training Modules

• Gamified lessons covering topics like:

  • Password hygiene

  • Safe browsing

  • Social engineering

  • Insider threats

  • Mobile and remote work security

• Quizzes, scenario-based learning, and certifications.

Behavioral Analytics

• Tracks user interactions with simulated threats.

• Dashboards for risk scoring at individual, team, and organizational levels.

• Insights on user improvement over time.

Incident Response Drills

• Simulated breach scenarios (e.g., ransomware outbreak, data leak).

• Tests team collaboration and decision-making under pressure.

• Post-incident feedback and scoring.

Automated Campaigns

• Schedule regular training and simulations.

• Adapt simulations based on user risk level or past behavior.

• Integrate with HR tools for onboarding or role changes.

3. Architecture & Components

Admin Dashboard

• Configure simulations and training.

• Track progress, customize content, manage users.

• Generate compliance and audit-ready reports.

End-User Interface

• Access training materials, review simulation outcomes.

• Receive feedback and actionable tips.

• Gamification elements: badges, leaderboards, progress bars.

Threat Simulation Engine

• AI-driven or rules-based logic to generate varied attacks.

• Libraries of attack templates and real-world inspired content.

• Integration with real-time threat intelligence feeds.

Reporting & Analytics

• Risk scoring engine per user, department, or campaign.

• Exportable reports (PDF, Excel) for audits or executive review.

• Metrics: click rates, report rates, training completion.

4. Integration Capabilities

• Email systems (e.g., Microsoft 365, Google Workspace)

• Single Sign-On (SSO) (e.g., Okta, Azure AD)

• HR systems (e.g., Workday, BambooHR) for user provisioning

• SIEM/SOAR platforms for advanced analytics and threat correlation

5. Benefits

• Reduced human risk factor in cyberattacks

• Improved compliance with industry regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, NIST, ISO 27001)

• Enhanced security culture across the organization

• Real-time visibility into user vulnerability and improvement

6. Target Users

• Enterprises of all sizes

• Government organizations

• Educational institutions

• Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs)

7. Example Use Cases

• Quarterly phishing campaigns to test and educate staff

• Onboarding security training for new hires

• Executive team spear phishing simulation

• Annual compliance training with automated tracking
