What is microtraining?
Microtraining is a quick, bite-sized lesson you'll see after interacting with one of our simulated phishing emails. Think of it as a friendly nudge, not a penalty. If you click a link in a simulated email, you'll be taken straight into a short training that explains what to look for next time. And if you do the right thing and report the email instead, you'll still get the training so the lesson sticks either way. Finish the microtraining and you'll earn acorns as a reward recognizing you're building stronger security habits. It only takes a minute, and it's there to help, not to call you out.
We've redesigned the microtraining experience built around interactive red flag detection that staff actually finish.
- Modernized design to showcase the red flags for each simulation email
- New quiz format to help verify learning and showcase your cybersecurity knowledge
- Same acorn rewarding system to drive excitement and competition
