Create and manage security awareness training campaigns for user accounts targeted by account compromise and XDR detection risk events.

This playbook streamlines the delivery of training campaigns, reducing manual effort and increasing efficiency. The playbook also allows you to tailor training materials to educate your employees on specific threats and vulnerabilities relevant to your organization.
Each execution of the playbook generates a training campaign, which can be tracked in the Training Campaigns app under Cyber Risk Exposure ManagementSecurity Awareness.
Each training campaign can be applied to a maximum of 15,000 user accounts. If the risk events target more than 15,000 user accounts, multiple training campaigns will be generated, each containing up to 15,000 users, upon approval.

    • The nodes that can be added by using an add node (plus_icon=e074b462-87df-4630-ab7f-552d598013d7.png) vary depending on the preceding node. For example, an Action node can only be possibly followed by another Action node; a Condition node can be followed by an Action node or have an Else-If Condition or Else Action attached to it.
    • When a condition is false, the playbook performs the Else Action or checks if its Else-If Condition is met. If the Else-If Condition is met, the playbook continues to perform the corresponding Else Action.
    • Multiple Action nodes configured in a serial mode are taken sequentially.
