Automated user management for phishing campaign enrollment
The patent US12047383B2 outlines a method and system for managing user groups in the context of simulated phishing campaigns. The user group management application is designed to establish user groups based on specific criteria that identify events related to these campaigns. The process involves identifying events associated with users, such as interactions with simulated phishing emails or completion of electronic remediation training. Users can be added to or removed from the group based on whether their actions meet the established criteria. This dynamic management allows for the execution of subsequent simulation campaigns tailored to the identified user group.
The claims further detail the functionality of the user group management application, including the ability to receive criteria from an administrator and select user groups based on user events. The application can track the frequency of user interactions with simulated phishing emails, ensuring that users are appropriately categorized based on their behavior. Additionally, the system is equipped to execute actions that either add users to the group or remove them based on their compliance with the defined criteria. This structured approach aims to enhance the effectiveness of phishing simulations by ensuring that the user groups reflect current user behavior and training status.
