If the company is very small, the Infosec IQ solution might be a little overkill. However, for a medium to large company, I think Infosec IQ is a great tool for providing cybersecurity training, reporting, and assessment testing for all employees. Based on the information gathered during training, testing, etc., it allows the cybersecurity manager to focus on what employees need additional training or potential weak spots in the current training. This is important information to report to senior leadership. It also serves to meet cybersecurity awareness training that may be a compliance requirement for customer contracts, governmental standards, etc

We receieve a lot of emails per day. And I mean a Lot. Said that, this
program has been useful because it shows how to analyse emails and
detect possible phisihing attacks. The knowledge of emails is pretty big
and means you are always up to date in terms of scam emails. For daily
use it's pretty useful.

Pros
  • Set it and forget it: Multiple recurring options for campaigns to run automatically.
  • Program assistance: The team at InfoSec creates content intended to meet annual training needs and produces how-to and promotional content to help guide resellers in packaging and deploying.
  • Integrates with O365 and can deploy a button to minimize false alarms from employees when they accurately identify training spam.

Cons
  • In our case, being in Mexico, a limit to the type of content we can use is the Spanish translation. Not all resources have this option.
  • You can set dates for your monthly campaigns, but you are unable to set a time for their launch.

  • 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.

Usability
They continue to work on the interface but there are still weird places where you have to hover to see options come up, weird navigation sometimes. Administering is not my favorite part of it. Need to increase their capability for uploading your own training.

The platform gains new features and its UI is always being updated, the user's training and phishing history is a differentiator. Filters make it much easier to search for users, and we can add new fields to include different sectors and business units.

Support Rating
We've gotten great help when we needed it. When our IT guy left who managed security, we had limited knowledge internally with all of the configuration and implementation. Support helped get us running quickly. They spent an hour or so with the new IT person and they hit the ground running. That was super easy.

Return on Investment
  • InfoSec IQ has been a profitable addition to our security stack. After getting everything set up, the normal profit margin per customer is 65% - 75%.
  • Many cyber-security insurance policies require some form of mandatory employee security training, and some policy premiums can be reduced based on your organization's training statistics.
  • It has allowed us to have a common "cyber-security" language with our customer base, making support requests flow smoother and breaches addressed quicker. It also lets us establish and enforce a more security-aware workplace tone with our customers.

  • 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.
