Micro Training Modules

Risk-Aligned Security Awareness Training

A micro training module is a one-time course covering a single behavior. It runs in about sixty seconds, it is generated from your own policies and from the failures your last simulation actually surfaced, and it is assigned only to the people it applies to. Delivered by email, mobile, or SCORM into the LMS you already run.

One Behavior Per Module About 60 Seconds Simulation-Triggered Policy-Generated Email, Mobile, SCORM Deepfake & Voice

No platform to rip out. No IT project. Runs alongside the program you already have.

"They ran highly effective, targeted simulations using convincing deepfake audio and video of our CEO. This exposed vulnerabilities that were strengthened in the same moment. Quite genius really."

A course completion is not a control

Three things go wrong in almost every awareness program we assess, and none of them are fixed by adding more content.

Aligned to a catalog

The curriculum reflects what the vendor happened to build, not what an adversary would do to your wire approvals, your help desk, or your hiring pipeline. The training and the threat are two unrelated documents.

Trains detection

Spot the artifact. Watch for urgency. Look for red flags. Synthetic media quality improves every quarter while human perception does not, and the pretexts that work best now read as routine rather than alarming.

Measures completion

Ninety-eight percent completion tells you people opened a window. It does not tell you whether the verification step held the next time someone called the help desk claiming to be an executive.

What a micro training module is

One behavior. About sixty seconds. Generated because something specific happened, not because a date came up on the calendar.

The module
A one-time course, scoped to a single procedure and assigned to the people it applies to.
Triggered
Generated from what failed

A simulation surfaces a specific gap, and a module addressing that exact gap is generated and assigned to the population it applies to. It exists because of something that happened, not because of a date on a calendar.

Assigned inside the same engagement
Single behavior
One procedure, nothing else

A module covers one verification step. It does not try to teach a topic. That constraint is what keeps it to sixty seconds, and it is what makes the completion data on it actually mean something.

Approximately 60 seconds
One time
Closes the loop, then stops

This is a single course, not a recurring assignment. It is finished once the behavior is addressed, and it only comes back if a later simulation shows the same gap is still open.

Not part of the recurring cycle
What it is not
A micro training module is not a shortened annual course. The two do different jobs.
Not the curriculum
Where the standing course fits

Your annual or quarterly course is an ordered multi-lesson track assigned by role and given a due date. That remains the program of record. Modules sit on top of it and address what it did not reach.

Runs on the cycle you already have
Not a topic
Not a subject overview

A module does not cover deepfakes, or phishing, or social engineering as a subject. It covers one verification step. Anything broader belongs in a course, where sequence and scope can carry it properly.

Scope of exactly one behavior
Not scheduled
Not part of the annual cycle

Completion is recorded for audit, but a module is not assigned on a schedule and does not repeat. It returns only if a later simulation shows the same gap is still open in the same population.

Reassigned only on repeat failure
A micro training module is a one-time course. It exists because a simulation found something specific, it addresses that one behavior, and then it is done. The standing curriculum still sits underneath it. Modules alone leave you with a set of corrections and no baseline, and a baseline alone leaves you with a curriculum that never responds to what your organization actually does under pressure.

Procedure, not perception

If a person has to correctly identify synthetic media for your control to hold, you do not have a control.

Detection first
Teach people to spot it
Depends on human perception improving faster than generation quality
Fails against routine-sounding pretexts such as IT support calling about a credential reset
Produces no evidence that a process would hold under pressure
Puts the entire outcome on whichever individual happens to answer
The conventional curriculum asks employees to notice unnatural blinking, audio artifacts, urgency, or an unusual request, and to escalate on instinct.
Procedure first
Teach the step that holds
The out-of-band callback, made to a number the employee already had
The approval path that a single voice on a call cannot shortcut
The verification standard the help desk applies to every caller, every time
The escalation route when a request cannot be verified, with no penalty for using it
Depending on the path, a person is the first line of defense, the last, or the only one. The training has to give them something to do in each case.

Measure your risk. Train for what you find. Prove it changed.

Order matters. Training assigned before measurement is a guess about where your risk sits, and a guess is what produces a curriculum that looks like everybody else's.

01
Measure
An OSES™ simulation establishes where process held and where it failed, by role and by function, alongside a benchmark against your peer vertical
02
Train
Micro training modules are generated for the specific failures the simulation surfaced and assigned to the people they apply to, on top of the standing curriculum
03
Prove
Re-test the same population with a fresh scenario and report the movement. Completion goes to audit. Behavior change goes to the board

All three stages run on one dataset. Measurement is OSES™ Simulate, and training and proof are OSES™ Behave. That shared dataset is what lets assignment follow observed failure rather than a job title in the directory.

Three sources, all of them yours

You are not selecting from a library. Every module is built from material that already describes how your organization is supposed to work.

Your policies and procedures

Point the platform at your wire approval policy, your help desk verification standard, your hiring and onboarding steps. Modules are generated grounded in the procedure people are actually expected to follow.

Policy IngestProcedure MappingYour Standards
Your simulation results

When a simulation exposes a gap, a module addressing that exact gap is generated and assigned. Education arrives while the experience is still fresh, not on next quarter's calendar.

Observed FailureJust In TimeTargeted Assignment
Your own authoring

Your team can write and publish modules directly. The people who understand your environment best keep control of the curriculum, and Breacher.ai stays the tool rather than the program owner.

In-House AuthoringPublish ControlNo Vendor Gate

Who gets what, and why

Assignment follows exposure. Not everyone carries the same risk, so not everyone gets the same curriculum.

Baseline

By role and function

Finance sees payment and vendor change scenarios. HR sees candidate and onboarding impersonation. IT and the help desk see credential verification. Everyone else moves through the shorter general track.

Triggered

By observed failure

Assignment is driven by what a population actually did during a simulation, not by a job title in the directory. Groups that already held the line are not made to sit through material they have proven they do not need.

Prioritization

By peer benchmark

Your result is reported against organizations in your vertical. That separates a genuine outlier from a sector median that is itself unacceptable, and it tells you which track to spend effort on first.

Built for people who will not sit through an hour

Modules ship through the delivery path you already have, so adding this does not add a platform.

Email, mobile, or SCORM

Hosted by us and delivered straight to inbox or phone, or packaged as SCORM and loaded into the LMS you already run.

  • No installation and no integration project
  • Same path as your existing course delivery
  • Your existing program stays in place

Your leadership, not stock actors

Scenario lessons can use synthetic audio and video of your own executives under documented consent, so the situation people rehearse matches the one they would face.

  • Documented consent for every likeness
  • Voice and video scenarios
  • Same source material as the simulation

Reporting auditors accept

Completion and assignment records for compliance, plus the movement in simulation results over time for the people who want to know whether any of it worked.

Common questions

What is a micro training module?

A one-time course covering a single behavior. It runs about sixty seconds, it is generated in response to a specific failure a simulation surfaced, and it is assigned only to the population it applies to. Once the behavior is addressed it is finished, and it returns only if a later simulation shows the same gap is still open.

How is a module different from our annual course?

Scope, trigger, and lifespan. A course is an ordered sequence of lessons with a broad subject, assigned by role, given a due date, and repeated on a cycle. A module covers exactly one procedure, is generated because a specific failure was observed, and does not repeat. The course is the program of record. The module is the correction. Modules do not replace the course, and they are not a shortened version of it.

How is this different from the awareness training we already run?

Two differences. Content is generated from your own policies and your own simulation results rather than selected from a library, and the subject is procedure rather than detection. Most programs teach people to recognize a threat. This one teaches the verification step that holds whether or not they recognize it.

Do we have to replace our LMS?

No. Modules are delivered by email and mobile from our side, or packaged as SCORM and loaded into whatever platform you already run. Most customers keep their existing program and add these as the deepfake and voice layer on top of it.

You say not to train detection. So what do you train?

Process, policy, and procedure. The out-of-band callback to a known number. The approval path a single voice on a call cannot shortcut. The verification standard the help desk applies to every caller. Generation quality keeps improving and human perception does not, so a control that rests on someone spotting a fake is a control with an expiry date on it.

Where does the training content come from?

Three places. Your policy and procedure documents, which the platform uses to generate training grounded in how your organization is meant to operate. Your simulation results, which generate targeted modules for the specific gaps observed. And your own team, who can author and publish modules directly.

How does this fit the OSES™ platform?

Training is the second stage of the OSES™ spine. OSES™ Simulate measures where process holds and where it fails. OSES™ Behave generates the curriculum from that result and re-tests to prove the movement. Both run on the same dataset, which is what lets assignment follow observed failure rather than a job title in the directory.

How do you prove it worked?

By re-testing the same population with a fresh scenario and reporting the movement, benchmarked against your peer vertical. Completion records are there for the auditors. The number that matters to leadership is whether the process held the second time. Reporting is organizational, with no named individuals and no department leaderboards.
