1

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

  • Cursor installed and configured on your machine
  • Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with node --version
  • Active project directory where you want to add implementing-anti-phishing-training-program
2

Run the install command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills install mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/implementing-anti-phishing-training-program

Fetches implementing-anti-phishing-training-program from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ────────────────
│ · Cline · Codex · Goose · Windsurf
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│ · Cursor · Aider · Continue
4

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/implementing-anti-phishing-training-program

Restart Cursor to activate implementing-anti-phishing-training-program. Access via /implementing-anti-phishing-training-program in your agent's command palette.

Security Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Implementing Anti-Phishing Training Program

Overview

Security awareness training is the human layer of phishing defense. An effective anti-phishing training program combines regular simulations, interactive learning modules, metric tracking, and positive reinforcement to build a security-conscious culture. This skill covers designing, deploying, and measuring a comprehensive phishing awareness program using platforms like KnowBe4, Proofpoint Security Awareness, and open-source alternatives.

When to Use

  • When deploying or configuring implementing anti phishing training program capabilities in your environment
  • When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
  • When building or improving security architecture for this domain
  • When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

  • Management buy-in and budget approval
  • Security awareness training platform (KnowBe4, Proofpoint SAT, Cofense)
  • Employee email list and organizational structure
  • Baseline phishing susceptibility data (from initial simulation)
  • Learning management system (LMS) integration capability

Key Concepts

Training Program Pillars

  1. Baseline Assessment: Initial phishing simulation to measure current susceptibility
  2. Interactive Training: Role-based modules covering phishing identification
  3. Regular Simulations: Monthly/quarterly phishing tests with progressive difficulty
  4. Just-in-Time Learning: Immediate training after a user fails a simulation
  5. Positive Reinforcement: Recognition for reporting phishing correctly
  6. Metrics & Reporting: Track improvement over time by department and role

SANS Security Awareness Maturity Model

  • Level 1: Non-existent - No program
  • Level 2: Compliance-focused - Annual checkbox training
  • Level 3: Promoting Awareness - Engaging, regular content
  • Level 4: Long-term Sustainment - Continuous program with culture change
  • Level 5: Metrics Framework - Risk-based measurement and optimization

Workflow

Step 1: Establish Baseline

  • Run initial phishing simulation across all departments
  • Measure click rate, submit rate, and report rate
  • Identify high-risk departments and roles

Step 2: Design Curriculum

  • General awareness: Phishing identification basics for all employees
  • Role-specific: Finance (BEC/wire fraud), IT (credential phishing), Executives (whaling)
  • Progressive difficulty: Beginner, intermediate, advanced modules
  • Micro-learning: Short (3-5 minute) frequent sessions vs. annual marathon

Step 3: Deploy Training Platform

  • Configure KnowBe4/Proofpoint SAT with organizational groups
  • Set up automated enrollment workflows
  • Integrate with LMS for completion tracking
  • Configure reporting dashboards

Step 4: Run Continuous Simulations

  • Monthly simulations with varied scenarios
  • Increase difficulty based on organizational performance
  • Include diverse attack types: links, attachments, QR codes, BEC

Step 5: Measure and Optimize

Use scripts/process.py to analyze training completion, simulation results, and program effectiveness over time.

Tools & Resources

Validation

  • 90%+ training completion rate across organization
  • Measurable reduction in phishing click rate over 6 months
  • Increase in user phishing report rate
  • Department-level improvement tracking

Implementation Guide

Prerequisites

  • Claude Desktop or compatible AI client with skill support
  • Clear understanding of task or problem to solve
  • Willingness to iterate and refine outputs

Time Estimate

15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity

Steps

  1. 1Install skill using provided installation command
  2. 2Test with simple use case relevant to your work
  3. 3Evaluate output quality and relevance
  4. 4Iterate on prompts to improve results
  5. 5Integrate into regular workflow if valuable

Common Pitfalls

  • Expecting perfect results without iteration
  • Not providing enough context in prompts
  • Using skill for tasks outside its intended scope
  • Accepting outputs without review and validation

Best Practices

✓ Do

  • +Start with clear, specific prompts
  • +Provide relevant context and constraints
  • +Review and refine all outputs before using
  • +Iterate to improve output quality
  • +Document successful prompt patterns

✗ Don't

  • Don't use without understanding skill limitations
  • Don't skip validation of outputs
  • Don't share sensitive information in prompts
  • Don't expect skill to replace human judgment

💡 Pro Tips

  • Be specific about desired format and style
  • Ask for multiple options to choose from
  • Request explanations to understand reasoning
  • Combine AI efficiency with human expertise

When to Use This

✓ Use when

Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.

✗ Avoid when

Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.

Learning Path

  1. 1Familiarize yourself with skill capabilities and limitations
  2. 2Start with low-risk, non-critical tasks
  3. 3Progress to more complex and valuable use cases
  4. 4Build expertise through regular use and experimentation
