NINJIO AWARE - 2024 Pricing, Features, Reviews, & Alternatives

Four out of every five successful cyberattacks involve a human element. Someone in an organization is tricked into opening the door for a cybercriminal or hostile government to enter a network and steal, embarrass, or raise havoc. People make mistakes. Most of the time, it’s because they didn’t know any better.

NINJIO takes a new approach to cybersecurity awareness training. It relies on the spirit that has always driven us: that engaging, well-made content can inspire real learning and change people’s behavior. We’re expanding that content to build both cybersecurity knowledge and cyber intuition, teaching people what a hack looks like and what it feels like.

But that content needs to find the right people. We’ve built an advanced personalization engine called the NINJIO Risk Algorithm, giving IT security leaders the ability to personalize training courses to each individual at scale.

Here’s how we do it:

NINJIO AWARE is our attack vector-based training that keeps employees up to speed on the latest cyber threats. These engaging micro-learning videos leverage Hollywood-style storytelling and gamification to aid in learning retention, so your colleagues really change their behavior.

We deploy a new 3–4-minute episode every month based on a recent, real-life hack with teachable takeaways and a quiz to measure learning retention. These are accompanied by a blog post that outlines how the real hack actually happened, an infographic about the attack vector, and a reminder comic with a mnemonic device to aid recall. Our industry-leading content caters to the learning styles of today’s workforce to produce real results and protect your company.

NINJIO AWARE episodes are also available in NANO format, running just 90 seconds with a focus on the teachable takeaways.

NINJIO PHISH3D is our proprietary simulated phishing tool. Much more than standard phish testing, PHISH3D identifies the specific social engineering tricks most likely to fool users in your organization so you can patch your human vulnerabilities. The tool relies on three dimensions: 

1. Attack vector-based phish testing. Our algorithm uses adaptive learning to continually probe the user’s susceptibility to commonly used real world hacks.

2. Emotional susceptibility testing. Every social engineering attack relies on manipulating any of 7 key human emotions like fear, obedience, or opportunity. NINJIO PHISH3D tests users against those 7 criteria to feed the NINJIO Risk Algorithm, building individual susceptibility profiles which we use to deploy individualized phishing and behavioral training. 

3. Automatically updated difficulty levels. The more we train, the better your users will get at spotting attacks. The algorithm will continually adjust the difficulty level of each user's phishing simulations to enable their progress and make them even better cyber defenders. 

NINJIO SENSE is our new behavioral science-based training course that shows employees what it “feels like” when hackers are trying to manipulate them. All social engineering attacks prey on 7 key human emotions. Our PHISH3D program uncovers which emotional manipulation strategies work best on each user: Craving, Fear, Urgency, Sociality, Curiosity, Opportunity, or Obedience.

NINJIO SENSE builds on PHISH3D by serving personalized training content courses based on the most pressing need. When a person understands these and can identify which are most likely to trip them up, they’ll be able to counter cyberattacks from any vector with their cyber intuition.

We developed NINJIO SENSE with many of the same proven engagement practices as our award-winning NINJIO AWARE training.

• The videos are short: 60 seconds or less.

• Hollywood writers develop character-based, engaging storylines.

• Lessons are delivered monthly.

With NINJIO AWARE and NINJIO SENSE, your people won’t just know what a cyberattack looks like. They’ll know what it feels like, too.
