Abstract
Persistent training is a process where you train and test users with an ongoing process of simulations and supplemental training material. Simulated phishing, social engineering tests, and requests made through the ticketing system to do something against policy are all forms of tests that can be used for the purposes of persistent training. The goal, of course, is not to see whether users will fail the test but rather to present an opportunity to exercise the users’ training and to follow up with supplemental training if users fail.
