Today I referred to my SEcurity AWareness TRaining program as "SEAWTR" pronouncing it Sea Otter. No one knew what the hell I was talking about. And apparently I'm the crazy one?

Attack Simulation Training is an intelligent phish risk reduction tool that now provides enhanced user telemetry to enable administrators to view additional details on how their targeted users are interacting with the phishing payload from simulation campaigns. It also allows users to measure behavior change and automate the deployment of a security awareness training program across an organization. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-defender-for-office/attack-simulation-training-new-insights-into-targeted-user/ba-p/3673105 #AttackSimulation #PhishRiskReduction #SecurityAwarenessTraining

Thought I’d start the first day back at work with some #SimulatedPhishing tests for a client I provide #SecurityAwarenessTraining for

Heading into my 4th year with this client and they have become really good at spotting phishing so I had to be extra fiendish with a #SocialEngineering mix of #Authority #ArtificalTimeConstraint #Fear and from Mice I borrowed Ego and from life I borrowed Fomo 😂​😂​

Judging by the click-rates I’m getting today, quite a few users seem to still be semi-comatose from all the turkey and plum pudding :blob_dizzy_face:​

Hats off to CVS.

I had to purchase a couple of gift cards for a present yesterday, upon purchase they had a brief training about gift card scams that I had to acknowledge before the purchase completed. Nice way to combat that ongoing threat.

I’ll do this now as The Murricans will be coming to life soon and it might get lost in the noise and I can go back to hiding behind the couch

Apparently it’s the etiquette, so: #introduction

Do a little “consulting” / support to small businesses on Security and IT (really, you used “consulting”? That’s a bit pretentious of you Old Chap…) Know my way around AD/AAD/MS365/Exchange quite well. Pretty good at email-security, inbound and outbound. Provide some #SecurityAwarenessTraining and #SimulatedPhishing (I find the Social Engineering side great fun)

#CompTIA #Security+ #A+ #ITF+ #Apple #ACSP certified. Studying for EC-CEH but might try for #PNPT and #eJPT first to get my feet wet (can’t afford to fail and re-take CEH at THAT price!)

Don’t expect too much, I don’t do anything super exciting

Started in IT at 60. Helpdesk > Support Engineer > SysAdmin > bored but found a passion for CyberSecurity > quit job to study. Aiming for #PNPT, #eJPT and #CEH before I hit 70. Have a little over 18 months to get there. Wish me luck!
