Our training is hands-on, personalized, and powered by **adaptive learning AI** so every user learns at their own pace. --- ### **Phase I – Quick Onboarding** **Goal:** Get everyone ready to report phishing emails. - Takes **just 30 seconds**. - Users receive a **welcome email** with a link to an **interactive tutorial** showing how to report suspicious emails. - Once completed, they’re ready to start real-world phishing simulations. --- ### **Phase II – Basic Training** **Goal:** Learn to recognize different types of phishing attacks. - We train users on **8 types of cyber attacks**: **How it works:** - Each user starts with a **Level 2** (medium difficulty) phishing email. - Depending on their action — *clicking, reporting, or ignoring* — the system automatically adjusts: - This continues until users receive **two simulations** from each of the eight categories. - Every person’s path is unique — nobody gets the same emails or difficulty level as someone else. --- ### **Phase III – Adaptive Learning** - **Goal:** Focus on individual weaknesses to build stronger instincts. - After the first training rounds, CyberNut’s AI analyzes: - Which **attack types** each person struggles with most. - Their **clicks, reports, and engagement** patterns. - Then, the system creates a **personalized training plan** that targets each user’s weak spots. - For example, someone who struggles with reward scams might keep practicing that category, while another user who’s great at spotting them might move on to harder challenges. --- ### **The 5 Difficulty Levels Explained** CyberNut’s adaptive learning engine continuously adjusts difficulty based on user performance: | **Level** | **Description** | | --- | --- | | **Level 1** | Non-personalized emails with typos and bad branding (very easy to spot). | | **Level 2** | Personalized emails but still contain typos and poor branding. | | **Level 3** | Well-written, decently branded phishing emails — trickier to identify. | | **Level 4** | Highly personalized with good grammar, realistic branding, and insider details (e.g., names, events). | | **Level 5** | “ChatGPT-ified” hyper-personalized phishing content — highly convincing AI-generated messages. | Over time, users can **level up or down** based on performance: - Spot and report → Level up 🔼 - Fall for a phish → Level down 🔽 - Every user’s journey is **unique and adaptive**, ensuring progress at the right pace for them. --- **The Result** By combining realistic simulations, adaptive difficulty, and personalized learning paths, CyberNut helps schools: - Strengthen cybersecurity awareness across all staff and students. - Create lasting behavioral change. - Build a culture of caution and confidence online. - [Getting Started for IT Admins (Google)](https://knowledgebase.cybernut.com/cybernut-knowledge-base/getting-started-for-it-admins-google?hsLang=en#main-content) -
