Anagram, previously known as Cipher, is innovating cybersecurity training by focusing on engagement and personalization. To address ongoing human-driven breaches exacerbated by generative AI, the company offers bite-sized videos and interactive puzzles that help employees identify phishing attempts. Their training is more frequent and engaging than traditional annual sessions, drawing on successful elements from platforms like TikTok and Duolingo. CEO Harley Sugarman emphasizes a user-friendly approach to security training, which deviates from standard practices, promoting hands-on learning for employees to develop a proactive mindset in cybersecurity.
"What we really took was lessons from TikTok, and lessons from Duolingo and Khan Academy. We looked at these platforms that have done really well engaging and changing user behavior outside of the security space."
"We took very little, in fact, basically no inspiration from the existing stuff out there. We took lessons from successful platforms and applied those within security."
