Building a Free Library for Phishing & Security Awareness Training — Looking for Feedback!
Hey r/InfoSecNews! **We’re putting together a free library of interactive security trainings focused on phishing, data leaks, social engineering, and more — and we’d love your thoughts.** Most existing courses are just slide decks or long videos that leave learners zoning out. The result? Minimal real-world skills, and people still fall for phishing traps. Since the best learning happens by doing, we’ve built a 3D interactive office environment — complete with computers, a phone, messengers, a webcam, a flip chart, and more. You get to step into realistic scenarios: inspect a shady email, pick up a “scammer” call, or even download an infected file and watch what happens. It’s not just ticking a compliance box — the knowledge actually sticks. **It’s 100% free, no strings attached.** Right now, there are four sample exercises on our landing page. More content is on the way, which will be available after sign-up (still for free). We’d love to hear if you like the concept and what scenarios you think we should add next.
