Information Security Awareness Microlearning Series
Bite-Sized Security Awareness That Keeps Cybersecurity Top of Mind
Reinforce essential security behaviours throughout the year with short, engaging and memorable microlearning designed to fit naturally into the employee workday.
Welcome to FunFoSec, the information security awareness microlearning series from SucceedLEARN Security Behaviour & Culture Suite that redefines how your employees interact with cybersecurity. It transforms complex cybersecurity topics into quick, relatable learning experiences that help employees remember what matters and apply secure behaviours in everyday situations.
Short enough to consume. Engaging enough to remember. Continuous enough to build habits.
Continuous Reinforcement
Why Continuous Reinforcement Matters
Completing an annual security awareness training programme is an important first step, but secure behaviour cannot be developed through a single learning event. As cyber threats continue to evolve and employees face new attack techniques every day, knowledge naturally fades unless it is reinforced regularly.
S-Bytes complements your organisation's existing security awareness programme by delivering short, engaging microlearning videos directly to employees at regular intervals. Each lesson reinforces a specific security topic using simple language, relatable scenarios, and memorable storytelling - keeping cybersecurity top of mind without disrupting productivity.
By transforming security awareness into a continuous habit rather than an annual obligation, organisations can build a more vigilant workforce, reduce human error, and foster a stronger culture of security.
Learn once. Reinforce continuously. Remember when it matters.

Continuous Security Awareness, One Byte at a Time
S-Bytes is the continuous microlearning layer of the SucceedLEARN Security Behaviour & Culture Suite.
Through the FunFoSec Microlearning Series, employees receive short security awareness videos built around relatable situations, simple language, storytelling and humour. Rather than presenting cybersecurity as a collection of policies and technical terminology, FunFoSec turns everyday security challenges into memorable stories employees can understand and relate to.
Familiar characters including Bob, Jane and Richard encounter security situations that employees may recognise from their own working lives - making serious cybersecurity lessons easier to consume and remember. Each microlearning experience focuses on a specific security concept, helping organisations reinforce awareness throughout the year without adding another lengthy training requirement.
S-Bytes turns security awareness from an occasional learning event into a continuous conversation.
Complement Formal Training
Security Awareness Without the Learning Fatigue
Longer awareness programmes have an important role in building foundational knowledge. But every security message doesn't require another full course. S-Bytes complements formal security awareness training by giving organisations a lighter way to reinforce individual topics throughout the year. A short microlearning intervention can remind employees about a behaviour at exactly the point where reinforcement is useful - without requiring another lengthy learning session.
This makes S-Bytes particularly useful for:
- Reinforcing concepts introduced during annual security awareness training
- Recurring security awareness initiatives
- Highlighting emerging cybersecurity risks
- Refreshing previously learned security concepts
- Maintaining awareness between formal training cycles
The objective isn't to replace foundational awareness training.
It is to make sure employees don't forget it.
How Users Consume Content
Designed Around How Users Actually Consume Content
Employees already have busy working days. Continuous awareness only works when learning is easy to access, quick to complete and relevant enough to hold attention.
S-Bytes is designed around those realities.
Relatable Storytelling
Security concepts are brought to life through workplace situations and everyday digital experiences rather than presented only through definitions and policies.
Humour-Driven Engagement
Cybersecurity is serious. Learning about it doesn't always have to feel serious. FunFoSec uses humour to make security topics approachable and memorable while keeping the underlying awareness message clear.
Simple, Practical Language
Complex cybersecurity concepts are translated into straightforward messages employees can understand regardless of their level of technical expertise.
Easy Access
Microlearning can be delivered directly to employees in their inbox, helping reduce unnecessary barriers between the learner and the awareness experience.
Regular Reinforcement
Organisations can create recurring awareness touchpoints that help employees revisit security concepts throughout the year rather than relying exclusively on annual training.

How It Works
Easy steps to launch a security awareness microlearning campaign
Make Continuous Awareness Simple
S-Bytes enables organisations to introduce microlearning into their security awareness programme through a simple cycle of selecting, scheduling and delivering.
Select S-Bytes
Choose FunFoSec videos based on the cybersecurity topics and behaviours your organisation wants to reinforce.
The growing library allows organisations to address both foundational security concepts and evolving cyber risks.
Select Users
Microlearning Campaigns can be deployed organisation-wide or customised for specific groups based on teams, location, custom user groups etc.
Schedule
S-Bytes provides flexible campaign scheduling options. Rather than delivering multiple microlearning's at once, organisations can distribute focused learning at regular intervals to create continuous awareness throughout the year.
Determine how frequently employees should receive microlearning based on your security awareness strategy.
Review
Before launching, administrators can review every campaign setting. Once reviewed, campaigns can be launched with a single click, allowing organisations to track the campaign and user status.
Easy Access
Awareness Delivered Where Employees Already Work
Less Friction. More Opportunity to Learn.
One of the biggest barriers to continuous learning is friction. Another login. Another platform. Another password. Another lengthy course. FunFoSec is designed to make microlearning easier to access.
Unique learning links can be delivered directly to employees through email, WhatsApp or teams allowing them to access short awareness content by clicking on the link, without requiring an additional learner login. This makes it easier for organisations to introduce frequent awareness touchpoints while keeping the employee experience straightforward.
Open. Watch. Learn. Get back to work.
Measurable Awareness
Track Microlearning Participation and Completion
Continuous awareness should remain measurable even when individual learning interventions are short. S-Bytes enables organisations to monitor employee participation and completion, helping administrators understand whether assigned microlearning is reaching and engaging the workforce.
Depending on programme configuration, administrators can use participation data to monitor engagement with ongoing awareness initiatives and identify where additional communication or reinforcement may be required. For organisations using the wider SucceedLEARN Security Behaviour & Culture Suite, S-Bytes activity can contribute to a broader view of security awareness engagement through S-Metrics. This allows microlearning to become a measurable component of the organisation's overall security behaviour strategy rather than a standalone communication activity.
