- {{material_type}}: The type of material needed (e.g., poster, video, quiz, infographic).
- {{threat_focus}}: The specific social engineering threat to address (e.g., phishing, baiting, pretexting).
- {{learning_objective}}: What employees should be able to do after engaging with the material.
Instructions
