Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Infosec IQ to train and test our employees on security awareness. I deploy several courses relating to one topic bi-monthly, and I deploy phishing campaigns on a monthly basis to a random group of employees. We have also installed Infosec's suspicious email report button on everyone's Outlook toolbar. Training is mandatory. I work with my manager to recognize those who reported the phishing and remediate those who were phished.

Pros

Produce courses that are short, efficient, and engaging
Provide a wide range of phishing templates with the ability to customize
Communicate new releases that are timely
Provide metrics that are easy to access and are meaningful

Cons

I have no areas for improvement to recommend.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Used for Cyber Security campaigns and training. Mainly for training users/learners to recognize tactics to steal passwords, data using various methods. Mainly phishing. Used to teach people to avoid getting data breached. My use to oversee training and analyzing emails that are submitted tagged as phishing or spam. Keeping tabs on users/learners for extra training or possible issues with email or security software.

Pros

Training users to recognize possible dangers in data theft (cyber attacks) with various methods like phishing among others like social engineering.
Ability to report via email possible cyber attack emails.
Many campaigns and data for training/education.
Funny and short videos for great training.

Cons

Analyst Console is sluggish and requires 3-6 clicks just delete, archive, submit. Could make its faster or just remove some of the extra clicks for some basic functions.
Some of the extra training, email replies, links are broken and sometimes ding you because they lead to errors that you have clicked on training phishing emails.
Campaigns and grouping users is a little complicated. Dashboard is at times cumbersome and over populated, making it difficult to do extra functions.
On all the above notes I will say our contact/trainer is amazing and is a big help.

Return on Investment

Positive ROI because it has saved us from many cyber attacks and data breaches. Having an extra layer of security is always a positive.
We will never really know on how this software has prevented data or monetary loss if we didn't have it. But I can say it has aided in cyber security.
