We often hear the question: "If I run phishing simulations, do I still need to do training videos?" The answer is yes. They are two halves of the same coin.
Training (Theory)
- Target: The Brain
- Goal: Explain concepts (Malware, Reuse)
- Method: Videos, Quizzes
- Problem: Passive consumption
Simulation (Practice)
- Target: The Gut Instinct
- Goal: Apply skills (Spotting flaws)
- Method: Fake Phishing Emails
- Benefit: Active experience
