Systems and methods for AIDA based grouping
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for dynamically creating groups of users based on attributes for simulated phishing campaign. A campaign controller determines one or more attributes of a plurality of users during execution of a simulated phishing campaign and creates one or more groups of users during based on the identified attributes. The campaign controller selects a template to be used to execute a portion of the simulated phishing campaign for a first group of users and then communicates one or more simulated phishing communications to the first group of users according to the template. The template may identify a list of a plurality of types of simulated phishing communications (email, text or SMS message, phone call or Internet based communication) and at least a portion of the content for the simulated phishing communication.
1. A method comprising:
identifying, by one or more processors, a plurality of groups of users;
using, by a device for executing a simulated phishing campaign, a model configured to identify a template for one or more simulated phishing communications to one or more users for each group of users of the plurality of groups of users, the model trained to identify the template having at least a likelihood to cause a group of users to take a predetermined action and configured to identify the template of at least one group of the plurality of groups different from the template of another group of the plurality of groups; and
communicating, by the device for the simulated phishing campaign, one or more simulated phishing communications to a first group of users of the plurality of groups of users according to a first template identified by the model and to a second group of users of the plurality of groups of users according to a second template identified by the model.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising establishing the plurality of groups of users responsive to one or more results of one or more simulated phishing communications to a plurality of users.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising establishing the plurality of groups during execution of the simulated phishing campaign.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising establishing, by the one or more processors, a first group of users and a second group of users from the plurality of groups of users.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising establishing, by the one or more processors, the first group of users and the second group of users based at least on results from one or more simulated phishing communications.
6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising establishing, by the one or more processors, the first group of users and the second group of users based at least on one or more attributes of the plurality of users.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the one or more processors, identification from the model of the template for each group of users responsive to providing the model one or more attributes of users in each group.
8. A system comprising:
one or more processors, coupled to memory, and configured to:
identify a plurality of groups of users;
use, for executing a simulated phishing campaign, a model configured to identify a template for one or more simulated phishing communications to one or more users for each group of users of the plurality of groups of users, the model trained to identify the template having at least a likelihood to cause a group of users to take a predetermined action, wherein the model is configured to identify the template of at least one group of the plurality of groups different from the template of another group of the plurality of groups; and
communicate one or more simulated phishing communications to a first group of users of the plurality of groups of users according to a first template identified by the model and to a second group of users of the plurality of groups of users according to a second template identified by the model.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to establish the plurality of groups of users responsive to one or more results of one or more simulated phishing communications to a plurality of users.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured establishing the plurality of groups during execution of the simulated phishing campaign.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to establish a first group of users and a second group of users from the plurality of groups of users.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to establish the first group of users and the second group of users based at least on results from one or more simulated phishing communications.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to establish the first group of users and the second group of users based at least on one or more attributes of a plurality of users.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to communicate one or more simulated phishing communications to the first group of users according to a first template identified by the model and to the second group of users according to a second template identified by the model.
15. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to receive identification from the model of the template for each group of users responsive to providing the model one or more attributes of users in each group.
16. A system comprising:
one or more processors, coupled to memory and configured with a model trained via machine learning using results from a plurality of simulated phishing communications;
wherein the model, responsive to being trained, is configured to receive as input one or more attributes of one or more users and provide as output identification of a template to use for generating a simulated phishing communication for the one or more users; and
wherein the one or more processors are configured to generate a first simulated phishing communication for a first group of users based at least on a first template identified by the model responsive to receiving one or more attributes of one or more users of the first group of users and generate a second simulated phishing communication for a second group of users based at least on a second template identified by the model responsive to receiving one or more attributes of one or more users of the second group of users.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to communicate the first simulated phishing communication to the one or more users of the first group of users.
18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to communicate the second simulated phishing communication to the one or more users of the second group of users.
19. The system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more attributes comprises one or more of the following: a geographic region, a demographic, or an organizational level within a company.
