Key concepts
RansomLeak teaches security awareness through realistic, interactive scenarios instead of slides. Learners play through attacks as Alice, a regular employee, and learn by making decisions and seeing the consequences.
Everything on the platform is built from a handful of pieces:
| Concept | What it is |
|---|---|
| Exercise | A single interactive scenario, usually a short 3D scene, that ends with a quiz. The basic unit of training. |
| Drill | A short, focused exercise on one threat: phishing emails, deepfakes, SMS phishing, chat, MFA fatigue, voice calls, QR codes, fake login pages and more. |
| Course | A set of exercises on one topic. Learners can take courses at their own pace. |
| Custom content | Your own SCORM packages or documents (PDF, presentation, video, audio, image), uploaded to RansomLeak. |
| Learning path | A curriculum made of exercises, drills, courses and custom content, optionally with a required order. See Learning paths. |
| Campaign | Assigned training with a start date and a deadline, used for mandatory and compliance training. A campaign contains either exercises and courses, or one learning path. |
| Certificate | A PDF issued when a learner completes a course or a learning path. |
| Achievement | A badge learners earn for milestones such as streaks and perfect scores. |
How they fit together
Section titled “How they fit together”- Learning paths define what people learn. They have no deadline of their own.
- Campaigns define when. Put a learning path into a campaign to give it a start date, a deadline and reminders.
- Team rules can add a simple deadline. A learning path assigned automatically to everyone joining a team can be due within a set number of days, with one reminder and one overdue notice. Use a campaign when you need a start date, escalating reminders or campaign reporting.
- Quizzes decide completion. An exercise counts as complete when the learner passes its quiz at or above your organization’s Quiz Completion Threshold (Tenant Settings → Learning & Assessment; 100% by default).
