Contents of the new functionality

En Marketing Institute has been contributing to the improvement of employee literacy in information security through the development and sale of the "Targeted Attack Email Response Training Implementation Kit," which enables companies to conduct targeted attack email training in-house.

The two new features released this time are as follows

(1) Provide online training content before and after the training, enabling employees to learn basic knowledge about targeted e-mail attacks and what they need to know to avoid being victimized by phishing scams, etc.

2. the ability to conduct online surveys to ask employees about their impressions after the training is conducted.

Training content can be selected from a selection of pre-prepared content, and quiz questions are provided along with the learning content to check comprehension. This provides an opportunity for employees to not only learn by watching the content, but also to take the quiz and see if they actually understand it.

The online survey function allows you to conduct a survey using a survey form with questions of your choice, and since the survey responses can be linked to the training results of the employees who received the training, it is useful for implementing a PDCA cycle, such as reviewing training improvement plans based on the training results and the responses obtained from the employees. This helps to implement a PDCA cycle, such as reviewing training improvement plans based on training results and responses obtained from employees.

We also provide a tool that allows non-technical people to create survey forms without being familiar with HTML, making it possible for non-technical people to conduct surveys with any questions they wish to ask.

Background of the New Feature

There are many educational content available on the market, both paid and free, for learning about phishing scams, etc. However, we have received requests from customers to provide content that matches their company's needs because the cost and content do not match their company's needs, or because the content is too old to use, even if they find content they can use. We have also received requests to use different content each time we conduct training because employees get bored with the same content each time we use it.

Against this backdrop, we decided that as a platform for conducting targeted e-mail training in-house, we needed to provide content that matched the needs of our customers, and decided to start offering training content that realizes online employee education as a new feature of the "Targeted Attack E-mail Response Training Implementation Kit. We have decided to start providing training content that enables online employee education as a new feature of the "Targeted Email Attack Response Training Implementation Kit.

The online survey function has been requested by our customers for some time. The survey itself can be conducted using online form services such as Microsoft Forms and Google Forms, but in order to link it to the results of targeted attack email training, we need to provide the survey respondents' email addresses. However, in order to link the survey to the results of targeted attack email training, it is necessary to have the survey respondents enter their employee information, such as email addresses, etc. If there are omissions or input errors, the information cannot be linked, and the training results and survey responses must be linked manually, which is a cumbersome and time-consuming process.

In response to this background, we have provided a function that allows the survey to be linked to the training results, making it possible to link the training results to the survey responses in one step.

The survey function allows users to create and use any form, so they can freely set questions, customize the appearance of the survey form, and conduct surveys that match their company's needs.
