Abstract
Cybersecurity awareness represents a fundamental component in strengthening organisation's security posture. It relies on two main fundaments: the first involves conducting social engineering attack simulations (e.g. phishing campaigns) to evaluate and enhance users' attitude to respond to real world threats, while the second focuses on learning programs designed to improve users' cybersecurity knowledge. The final goal is to strengthen their ability to recognise, assess and respond to potential hazards they may encounter in real environments. Although cybersecurity awareness plays a crucial role and requires continuous assessment and improvement, the software solutions currently available to support organisations aren't often completely adequate to meet the specific needs of awareness programs.
In particular, considering the two main categories of solutions on the market, open source and commercial, a significant percentage of existing applications provides highly sophisticated functionalities for phishing simulation activities, while it offers limited support for learning initiatives, which very often, must be integrated through external tools, such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), or, even worse, is completely ignored
