Application: Prompting users to annotate simulated phishing emails in cybersecurity training (Patent ID: US20240078924A1)
Proofpoint Inc. has developed a system for generating simulated attack messages for cybersecurity training purposes. The system involves a computing platform that sends these messages to enterprise user devices, allowing users to interactively annotate selected elements of the message. Based on these annotations, the system identifies training areas for the user, generates customized training modules specific to these areas, and sends them to the user's device for display. The system utilizes machine learning to adapt training modules and calculate user performance scores, providing interactive training interfaces for users to complete the training.
The system also includes features such as identifying training areas based on user selections, calculating user performance scores, receiving user selections through various interactions with the simulated attack message, providing annotation tools for user selections, aggregating user selections for analysis, computing the frequency of correctly selected elements, updating machine learning models based on user selections, and adjusting score weightings for elements based on user interactions. Overall, the system aims to enhance cybersecurity training by providing personalized and interactive training modules based on user annotations of simulated attack messages.
