Dynamic Data Variables on Simulations

This new functionality enhances the realism and effectiveness of phishing simulation campaigns by incorporating real, company-specific data into simulated phishing emails

We are excited to introduce a powerful new addition to our cybersecurity platform: Dynamic Variables. This new functionality enhances the realism and effectiveness of phishing simulation campaigns by incorporating real, company-specific data into simulated phishing emails. By using Dynamic Variables, you can create highly personalized and convincing phishing simulations that better prepare your employees to recognize and respond to real-world phishing attempts.

What Are Dynamic Variables?

Dynamic Variables allow you to populate phishing simulation emails with random, company-specific data such as:

• Employee names

• Email addresses

• Job titles

• Admins' Emails

• Admins' Names

Instead of using generic placeholders like "John Smith" or "Acme Inc.," Dynamic Variables pull random information from your users and admins' data. This ensures that the simulations are tailored to your organization while maintaining privacy and compliance.

Key Benefits of Dynamic Variables

1. Increased Realism: By using real employee names, job titles, and other company-specific details, phishing simulations become more believable and effective in training employees to identify phishing attempts.

2. Enhanced Engagement: Personalized emails are more likely to capture employees' attention, making the training experience more impactful.

3. Improved Training Outcomes: Realistic simulations help employees better recognize phishing tactics, reducing the risk of falling victim to actual attacks.

4. Controlled Data Usage: Only available upon administrator approval, ensuring that sensitive or inappropriate information is not included in simulations without your permission.

How Dynamic Variables Work

1. Enable Feature: From the Company settings, enable the "Dynamic Data Variables" feature to make it available on your simulations.

2. Identify Dynamic Variables: When creating short or MSP campaigns, you can now distinguish Dynamic Variables included in the simulation templates with a blue star icon located next to the variable name when customizing templates. 

3. Delivery: When sending the campaign emails, the system randomly selects data from your users' list to fill in the variables, ensuring each email is unique and personalized. It should be noted that users won't receive templates including their own data.

Dynamic Variables, User Data, and Admin Responsibilities

Note: Always ensure that the data used in phishing simulations complies with your organization's privacy policies and applicable regulations.
