Great cost benefit Kaspersky Security Awareness

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Kaspersky Security Awareness in our organization to provide cybersecurity awareness training and phishing campaigns. The platform is very comprehensive, covering 450 basic skills at various levels: beginner, basic, intermediate and advanced.A great advantage of the platform is the phishing campaigns, which allow us to customize the content and choose the different domains to send the phishing.There are also no limits on campaigns and sendings, whether general or targeted campaigns.

Pros

  • Phishing Campaigns
  • Complete or simplified awareness training
  • Synchronization with Active Directory to add users
  • Individual certificates for each completed training

Cons

  • I wish we could attach a custom file to the phishing
  • I wish there was a way to edit the return screen when a user clicks on the phishing.
  • I would like there to be an integration with Google Workspace, to add a feature to Gmail, for the user to report as phishing, like there is for 365.

Return on Investment

  • For compliance, we were looking for a tool that covered cybersecurity awareness training and phishing campaigns.
  • We studied other tools, but the price of phishing campaigns alone was too high. This tool integrated everything.
  • Our target in phishing campaigns was less than 4% of clicks, in more than 2 years using the platform, we went from 25% to 2% in click percentages in targeted and general campaigns.
