Pistachio training available in Microsoft Teams

Last September we introduced Pistachio, our new cybersecurity training platform. Of the phishing simulations sent to staff, only 2% of recipients entered their credentials – the industry standard is 4.5%. Alongside phishing simulations, Pistachio also sends short training exercises. 

By default, these exercises are sent to your email for you to interact with in Outlook. From now on, you can opt to receive your training exercises in Teams, rather than Outlook. There will be a toggle in future training emails which you can adjust. Phishing simulations will still be sent to Outlook.  

If you decide to switch, your training history won’t be affected. You can still see your training summary in Pistachio Loop: a five-slide visual, like Spotify Wrapped, to highlight your successes and where there are areas to improve.  

If you have any questions about this change or the Pistachio training platform, please contact the IT Service Desk.
