Case Study: Arkansas Securities Department achieves a culture of increased security awareness and 90% A+ training scores with Infosec (Infosec IQ)

How Arkansas Securities Department Created a Culture of Increased Security Awareness with Infosec IQ

The Arkansas Securities Department, a small state agency in Little Rock responsible for enforcing financial services laws, needed to raise workforce security awareness. IT Application Systems Supervisor Tyler Pate evaluated security awareness platforms and chose Infosec’s Infosec IQ (including the PhishNotify email plugin) to run phishing simulations and training across the team.

Infosec delivered a program of simulated phishing, modular training, and reporting tools that Tyler rolled out with a team kick-off, positive reinforcement, and accountability. The Infosec IQ campaigns drove strong engagement and measurable behavior change — today over 90% of Arkansas Securities Department employees earn A+ grades on the platform — increasing phishing reporting and overall security awareness.
