  • Patent number: 11943253
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for using secured groups for simulated phishing campaigns to obfuscate data for levels of privacy based on protected criteria classes. Initially, a group to resolve members of the group based on multiple users matching one or more group criteria is established. It is then determined that at least one criteria of the one or more criteria has been configured as one of multiple protected criteria classes. Responsive to the determination, the group is identified as a secured group. A query of the group is then executed to identify one or more users of the multiple users as members of the group based on the users matching the criteria of the secured group at the time of execution of the group and information of the one or more users resulting from the execution of the secured group is obfuscated in accordance with the protected criteria class.

  • Publication number: 20230073430
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying one or more advertisements of a webpage or a social media feed to create a simulated cybersecurity attack. Initially, content responsive to a request by a user via a user device to access a webpage or social media feed with one or more advertisements is received. One or more advertisements are detected within the content. An advertisement of the one or more advertisements is modified or replaced with simulated cybersecurity attack advertisements. The webpage or social media feed with the modified advertisement is displayed to the user device. User interactions with the simulated cybersecurity attack content are tracked and training is provided based on user interactions.

  • Patent number: 10748664
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for routing healthcare information based on a role associated with a user. Information may not always need to go to a specific person but, rather, may need to be communicated to a role. A user may be associated with a given role based on manually claiming the role, being assigned to a role, or being automatically scheduled into a role. Additionally, information may be communicated using user contact preferences specifying the modality by which the user is to be contacted under various circumstances. Further, the information may be re-directed if a rejection (or lack of response) is received by an initial recipient.
