Kinds Security update #11
April 18, 2026
Workshops now run in every learner's preferred language, in real time. No waiting on localized content to be built. No separate workshop versions per region. The same training, the same quality, in 32 languages.
Supported Languages
Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese.
How It Works
A learner opens their workshop and picks their language from the menu
Every message — response options, prompts, and voice playback — translates on the fly
If they leave and come back, their past conversation history is translated too
Language preference is saved automatically, so it carries across every future workshop
Why This Matters
Attackers localize. A German phishing email lands differently on a German-speaking employee than its English translation ever would — threat actors know this, which is why sophisticated campaigns are written in the target's native language. If attacks arrive in your employees' language, training has to meet them there.
For global teams, multilingual support means every employee gets the same depth of training regardless of where they sit or what language they work in. No one is left doing training in a second language and absorbing half of it.

Phishing simulations now adapt to the actual apps your employees use. When learners are synced from Microsoft, Google, or Okta, we read their provisioned apps and bias each person's simulations toward templates that target those specific tools. Your GitHub users are much more likely to see GitHub-themed phishing. Your Microsoft 365 users see Outlook-style scams. Your finance team sees the SaaS tools they actually log into every day.
How It Works
When learners sync from Microsoft, Google Workspace, or Okta, we pull their provisioned apps — Microsoft assigned licenses, Google Workspace apps, Okta app labels
Every phishing template in our library is tagged with the apps it simulates. GitHub Suspicious Login targets
github. Microsoft Password Expiration targetsmicrosoft 365,office 365, andoutlook. Uber Account Deletion targetsuberanduber eatsEach campaign, the system picks a template for each learner with an 80% bias toward their app-matched pool, falling back to role-based templates, then general BEC scenarios
A built-in rotation safeguard keeps variety high — no learner gets stuck seeing the same type of attack round after round
A Concrete Example
A developer on your team has GitHub, Slack, and Microsoft 365 in their provisioned apps. Their next few simulations now skew toward scenarios like:
A GitHub "suspicious login detected" alert
A Microsoft 365 password expiration notice
A Slack workspace invitation from an unknown admin
…rather than a generic "your FedEx package is delayed" scam that has nothing to do with their daily work.
Why This Matters
Real attackers research their targets. They don't send Uber phishing to someone who's never signed up for Uber — they craft bait around the tools people actually use. For simulations to prepare your team for real threats, they have to work the same way.
Generic phishing templates teach employees to spot obvious bait. App-aware simulations train them on attacks that look exactly like what sits in their real inbox.
What You Need To Do
Nothing. If your account is already synced with Microsoft, Google, or Okta, app-aware targeting is live on your next scheduled campaign. No configuration. No manual template assignment. No admin work.
