Kaspersky Security Awareness Platform has received a major update that introduces full support for PDF and SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) formats, marking a significant advancement in cybersecurity training capabilities. The enhancement enables organizations to build fully customized cybersecurity training programs that reflect their infrastructure, risk profile, and internal policies, while continuing to benefit from Kaspersky’s expert-driven security content and phishing simulations.
According to the Kaspersky report titled “Redefining the Human Factor in Cybersecurity”, employees responding to phishing attacks was one of the main causes of cyber incidents in companies worldwide, accounting for 21% of cases. Additional research reveals that social engineering attacks are predicted to increase more than any other type in the nearest future, with 87% of respondents believing that social engineering attacks will become even more effective due to the use of AI tools.
Addressing Critical Cybersecurity Training Challenges
The new Kaspersky Automated Security Awareness Platform (Kaspersky ASAP) update directly addresses several persistent challenges such as reducing the number of human-related incidents, cutting time spent on managing training programs, decreasing regulatory and compliance risks, and minimizing potential legal or reputational damage stemming from cybersecurity breaches. With the new SCORM support, the platform becomes even more flexible: companies can now upload, track, and manage their own SCORM-based learning materials directly within the system.
Enhanced Flexibility with Kaspersky Security Awareness Platform
This allows organizations to tailor training to their specific technology stacks and emerging threats targeting their industry or region. Businesses that have already invested in third-party SCORM courses or internal learning development can now seamlessly reuse their existing modules, protecting their prior investments while strengthening their cybersecurity posture. Companies can accelerate their programs by using easier-to-create PDF formats, making content development more accessible and efficient.
Best-of-Breed Approach to Human Risk Management
The combination of Kaspersky’s embedded content built on real cases uncovered by the company’s world-class experts with customers’ PDF materials or SCORM modules enables a true best-of-breed approach to human risk management. Organizations can supplement Kaspersky Security Awareness scenarios with internal policies, unique workflows, and industry-specific lessons, ensuring training resonates with employees and reflects real operational challenges.
“Human behavior remains one of the most unpredictable elements in cybersecurity and also one of the easiest for attackers to exploit. By adding SCORM support to Kaspersky Automated Security Awareness Platform, we’re giving organizations the flexibility to build training programs that truly match their internal realities. Combined with Kaspersky’s expert-driven content and real-world attack data, this update empowers companies to create more adaptive, relevant, and impactful awareness programs than ever before.”

Future Outlook for Cybersecurity Training
As cyber threats continue to evolve and become more sophisticated with AI integration, the need for comprehensive and customizable security awareness training has never been more critical. The platform’s new capabilities position organizations to stay ahead of emerging threats while maintaining compliance with industry regulations and protecting their most valuable assets from human-related security incidents.
