What's New

Administrators require detailed insights into the factors influencing user risk scores to improve security awareness and manage human risk effectively.

To address this, we have introduced new risk factor insights providing greater visibility into what influences risk scores and which departments they relate to. This includes adding columns for Engagement Score, Quiz Attempts Score, and Phishing Interactions Score along with their Department, Sub Groups and User Status to the following reports:

• Organizational Risk Levels
• Preferred Departmental Training vs Employee Risk
• Preferred Language

Features & Benefits

• Engagement Score: Tracks user engagement, helping identify those who are actively participating or disengaged.
• Quiz Attempts Score: Measures the users average number of quiz attempts within Fusion Courses
• Phishing Interactions Score: Monitors interactions with phishing simulations.
• Department & Group Name: Ability to view user’s Department and Group Names to identify which department the user belongs to.
• User Status Visibility:  To help identify is a user is currently active or on long term leave.

Why Use Risk Insights?

• Enhanced Risk Visibility: Gain a clear understanding of what drives risk scores, allowing for more informed decision-making.
• Improved Human Risk Management: Identify specific factors contributing to increased or decreased risk, enabling targeted interventions.

Admins often face difficulties ensuring that employees complete their cyber security training. One common issue is the inability to resend email notifications to users who cannot find the initial email, leaving them unable to access and complete their training. This results in increased human risk and lower overall security awareness within the organisation.

To address this challenge, we have introduced a manual email reissue feature. This feature allows admins to instantly resend email notifications to users directly from the ‘Learning in Progress’ page, ensuring that important training emails are at the top of their inboxes.

• Instant Resend: The ‘Resend Email ‘ button for courses allows admins to quickly resend email notifications to users who cannot find the original email.
• User-Friendly Interface: Admins can easily enter a user’s email and send notifications without interfering with automatic reminders.
• Error Handling: System provides feedback if an email is incorrect, ensuring accurate targeting.
• Enhanced Training Completion: By ensuring users receive their email notifications promptly, the likelihood of completing cyber security training increases, thereby reducing human risk.

For admins, this feature is essential for improving security awareness and managing human risk. By providing a reliable method to ensure all users receive their training notifications, it helps maintain high compliance rates and reduces vulnerabilities associated with incomplete training. This tool is crucial for maintaining a robust security posture and fostering a culture of awareness and vigilance within the organisation. More info here

Managing and identifying bounced emails within phish audit reports can be challenging for admins. The inability to efficiently sort and filter emails based on their delivery status makes it difficult to quickly identify users with delivery issues, leading to delays in addressing potential problems.

Our latest feature update addresses these challenges by introducing advanced sorting and filtering capabilities in the delivery status column of phish audit reports. This enhancement empowers administrators to efficiently manage and identify bounced emails.

1. Sort by Delivery Status:
   • Feature: Easily sort the delivery status column to group all bounced emails together.
   • Benefit: Quickly identify users on the bounce list, improving visibility and reducing the time needed to manage email delivery issues.
2. Filter for Bounced Emails:
   • Feature: Filter the delivery status column to view only bounced emails.
   • Benefit: Export a filtered list of bounced email users for further investigation by the IT team, ensuring targeted and efficient troubleshooting.
3. Flexible Sorting Options:

   • Benefit: Customise the view based on various delivery statuses, providing comprehensive insights and flexible management of email campaigns.

This feature not only enhances the efficiency of administrative tasks but also strengthens overall security posture by enabling prompt identification and resolution of email delivery issues. With clear visibility into delivery statuses, teams can proactively address potential vulnerabilities, ensuring that simulated phishing campaigns reach all intended recipients.

Organisations are encountering challenges with managing storage limits effectively. Without visibility of storage usage, users often exceed their storage capacity, leading to potential disruptions and the need for support intervention. This lack of visibility into storage usage poses risks to operational efficiency.

To address these concerns, we have introduced a front-end feature that provides information to admins on their storage limit in the Usage Metric report.

This feature aims to enhance awareness and prevent future incidents by ensuring administrators have real-time visibility into their storage usage.

Features & Benefits:

• Real-Time Usage Metrics: The feature includes a clear indication of current storage usage within the Usage Metric report, empowering administrators to monitor usage trends and plan accordingly.
• Automatic Updates: The storage limit field dynamically updates when new content is uploaded, ensuring administrators have up-to-date information at their fingertips.
• Operational Efficiency: By avoiding overages and potential downtimes, organisations can maintain seamless operations and minimise the need for reactive support interventions.

By implementing visibility of storage usage, organisations can pre-emptively address storage challenges, optimise resource allocation, and uphold data integrity standards.

The MetaCompliance Accessibility Project is essential for reducing human risk for our customers and improving overall awareness. Ensuring accessibility not only meets legal requirements but also enhances the security posture by promoting inclusivity and comprehensive user engagement.

This project addresses potential vulnerabilities, ensuring that all users can access critical cybersecurity training and information.

Recent Accessibility Enhancements on Our Platform:

• Enhanced Quiz Experience: We’ve upgraded our quiz checkboxes to Bootstrap 5 (BS5), enhancing accessibility and improving user interaction.
• Improved Pop-Up Accessibility: Our pop-up messages now remain visible until action is taken, stack on top of each other and can be navigated using keyboard controls, ensuring a seamless experience for all users.
• Accessible link in content email notifications: users can now access the link in the email via keyboard only on OWA (outlook web app).
• Alt Tags for Images: We’ve added alt tags to all relevant images, improving accessibility for users relying on screen readers and other assistive technologies.

This feature addresses the problem of customers being unable to review the phish email original subject line when using the “send as attachment” feature within the web application plugin.

By updating the Graph API integration to preserve and display the original subject line of emails sent as attachments, this feature solves the problem by ensuring users can easily view and review the subject line within the web application interface.

Implementing this feature leads to enhanced user experience and improved efficiency in reviewing and managing phishing emails.

By adopting this feature, businesses can achieve more effective phishing detection, driving overall growth and success.

This feature addresses the problem of inaccurate publish dates for campaign content within reporting, causing confusion and potential misjudgements about user compliance and phish activity.

By changing the publish date of campaign content to the step start date rather than the date the Campaign was published, the platform ensures accurate reporting and avoids misrepresentation of content assignment durations.

Implementing this feature leads to clearer, more accurate reports for admins, reducing confusion and ensuring users are not incorrectly marked as non-compliant. It also provides accurate data in the phish activity report, reflecting the true timing of campaign steps.

By adopting this feature, businesses can achieve more reliable reporting and enhanced clarity in compliance and phish activity tracking, driving overall growth and success.
