Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to improving user responses to cyber security threats. A computing platform may generate a test communication to simulate a potential cyber threat activity. Then, the computing platform may send, via the communication interface, the test communication to a user device associated with a target user. Then, the computing platform may receive, via the communication interface and from the user device, a response to the test communication. Subsequently, the computing platform may determine, based on the response, a threat awareness level for the target user, where the threat awareness level is indicative of a susceptibility of the target user to the potential cyber threat activity. Then, the computing platform may send, to the target user and based on the threat awareness level, an alert notification to counter the cyber threat activity.
