Keepnet's Adaptive Security Awareness Training Software: AI-Driven, Personalized, and Effective

Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, the phishing landscape has exploded. Phishing email volumes have surged by 1,265%, and credential phishing is up by 967%, driven by ransomware groups aggressively seeking unauthorized access for financial gain.

Despite this dramatic escalation in phishing campaigns, many organizations still rely on outdated, generic training programs that fail to keep up with AI-enhanced social engineering techniques and targeted credential theft schemes—leaving dangerous gaps in human defenses.

Keepnet’s Adaptive Security Awareness Training Software redefines how training works. By using AI-powered personalization, it delivers relevant, timely, and engaging content that transforms awareness into action—and employees into your first line of defense.

In this blog, we’ll explore how Keepnet uses AI to automate and tailor training experiences, reduce phishing risk, and strengthen your overall security posture.

Just-in-Time Training: Immediate Learning After Mistakes

Keepnet’s just in time training delivers personalized training sessions tailored to each team’s risk profile and readiness level, helping organizations close specific security gaps and build a unified, risk-aware culture.

With Keepnet’s integrated Phishing Simulator, employees receive targeted training immediately after they fall for a phishing simulation.

Example: If an employee clicks on a simulated phishing campaign, AI instantly triggers a short, interactive module that explains the mistake and teaches how to avoid similar threats.

This real-time response reinforces learning at the moment it's most relevant—turning risky behavior into lasting awareness and significantly reducing future click rates.

Continuous Learning with Automated Enrollment

Keepnet delivers ongoing, personalized training journeys based on employee behavior—ensuring continuous improvement, not just one-time awareness.

When an employee fails a phishing simulation, the system automatically assigns a tailored training path from a vast library of over 2,100 security awareness materials across limitless languages. These materials are sourced from 15+ leading providers and designed using behavioral science techniques like nudges and gamification to boost retention.

Example: If an employee repeatedly clicks phishing links, they’re auto-enrolled in a tiered program. As their performance improves, Keepnet’s AI unlocks more advanced Security Awareness Training—aligning content difficulty with user progress.

This adaptive approach embeds secure habits over time, encourages phishing reporting, and helps organizations track effectiveness with dashboards, metrics, and executive-ready compliance reports.

A Dynamic Content Library for Every Role, Risk, and Region

Keepnet provides access to one of the world’s most comprehensive security training libraries—over 2,100 expert-created modules tailored to fit every team, language, and risk profile.

Training isn’t generic—it’s built to reflect the specific challenges and threat scenarios faced by different roles and departments:

• Role-specific training for HR, IT, finance, executives, and developers
• Department-targeted content, like invoice fraud for finance or secure coding for developers
• Geography-aware modules that address region-specific cyber threats
• Regulatory compliance courses for GDPR, HIPAA, ISO27001, and more
• Localized content in 36+ languages to support global teams
• Adaptive learning formats—videos, infographics, newsletters, and interactive simulations based on employee preferences

Example: While developers receive deep-dive training on secure coding practices, finance teams are guided through targeted lessons on identifying and preventing business email compromise (BEC).

Whether your teams work in New York or Tokyo, in tech or HR, Keepnet delivers relevant training that reflects their unique risks and roles—keeping your entire workforce aligned and resilient.

AI Nudges for Positive Reinforcement

Keepnet leverages AI-driven nudging to reinforce secure behaviors through timely, personalized messages across Microsoft Teams, Slack, email, and SMS.

These nudges act as gentle reminders that keep security top of mind without overwhelming users. They’re also complemented by visual reinforcements—like posters, screensavers, and infographics—that highlight best practices in a memorable way.

Example: When an employee reports three phishing emails, they receive an encouraging message: “You’ve reported 3 phishing attempts this month—your vigilance protects us all. 👏”

These small, consistent cues increase motivation, reinforce good habits, and help foster a culture of proactive security awareness.

Gamified Training for Higher Engagement

Keepnet turns security awareness into an engaging, game-like experience—motivating employees through personalized scores, healthy competition, and real-time feedback.

The platform assigns users a personalized score based on their actions in phishing, smishing, vishing, callback phishing, and quishing simulations. Employees earn points for reporting threats and lose points for risky behaviors—driving accountability and improving decision-making.

Key features include:

• Leaderboards that spark friendly competition between individuals and departments
• Digital badges and certifications to reward performance and progress
• AI-powered reward suggestions tailored to individual motivation styles
• Security Ambassador Programs to recognize and empower top performers
• Activity timelines and performance tracking to highlight training impact and areas for growth
• Detailed gamification reports with filters by role, department, and individual performance metrics

Example: Teams compete to complete training modules first. Top scorers receive digital badges and public recognition, creating positive peer pressure that encourages consistent participation.

Gamification increases engagement, boosts knowledge retention, and encourages proactive defense.

AI-Driven Reminders for Completion

Keepnet replaces generic training reminders with AI-powered prompts that target the right users at the right time—driving higher completion rates.

The system tracks training progress and sends smart notifications to individuals who haven't yet completed their modules, using team-based progress to motivate action.

Example: If 95% of a team has finished training, AI sends a message to the remaining few: “Almost there—your team is at 95%! Help them hit 100%.”

These reminders boost individual accountability, encourage teamwork, and significantly improve overall training completion.
