Welcome to Riot! This journey takes you from setting up your workspace to activating your modules. It runs in two stages: first you prepare your workspace, then you activate Riot module by module.
❶ Before you start
💡 Prerequisite: to follow this journey, you need Administrator access to Riot. The Read-only role does not allow you to make these settings.
👉 Open your Riot administration platform
Open your web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari), then type the following address in the address bar at the very top of the window: hub.tryriot.com
You can also simply click the link above.
👉 Sign in
Sign in with your administrator account.
👉 Can't sign in?
You may not have administrator access yet. Ask your organisation's super administrator (the person who created your Riot account) to invite you from Settings > Members, then Invite.
The full procedure is described in Manage my Admins.
👉 How to use this journey
Each step below corresponds to an article. Click its blue title to open it.
The article opens in a new tab. Once the step is done, come back to this tab to move on to the next one.
Keep the hub.tryriot.com platform open in another tab: you will make the settings as you read.
👍 Good to know: follow the steps in order, and only those for the modules included in your plan.
❷ Set up your workspace
These six steps lay the foundations. They are needed whatever modules you use.
Almost all of them happen in the same place: the Settings menu, in the left-hand column of your screen. At the top of the Settings page, you will find several tabs:
General, Cyber Mission, Members, Workforce, Notifications, Domains and Billing.
1️⃣ Step 1: Sync your employees
Where? Settings > Workforce
Connect your directory (Google, Microsoft, Slack or Okta) to keep your list of employees always up to date, or import them with a CSV file.
2️⃣ Step 2: Validate your domains
Where? Settings > Domains
Validate your organisation's domains: this is essential to send your phishing simulations correctly.
3️⃣ Step 3: Set up your Cyber team
Where? Settings > General, Cyber team section
Name your organisation's cybersecurity contacts and choose how your employees can reach them in an emergency. This information appears in emails, courses and the remedial page.
4️⃣ Step 4: Choose your employees' notification channel
Where? Settings > Notifications
Choose where your employees receive messages from Riot: by email (selected by default) or through a messaging app (Slack, Teams or Google Chat).
5️⃣ Step 5: Set up your Cyber Missions
Where? Settings > Cyber Mission
Choose the content of the missions, where they are sent, the reminders to employees and the alerts to managers. Do not activate Cyber Missions yet: activation happens at the last step of the journey.
6️⃣ Step 6: Check your billing information
Where? Settings > Billing
Update your information, especially the email address that receives your invoices.
❸ Activate Riot modules
Your workspace is ready: now activate your modules, one by one. Each module is in the Apps section of the left-hand column.
💡 Prerequisite: only complete the steps for features that are part of your Riot plan.
7️⃣ Step 7: Launch a recurring simulation campaign
Where? Simulation menu
Regularly train your employees to recognise phishing attacks, smishing and more.
8️⃣ Step 8: Prepare your awareness programme
Where? Awareness menu
Choose the courses in your programme and the employees who must take them. Your Cyber Missions rely on this programme.
9️⃣ Step 9: Enable reporting and malicious email detection
Where? Inbox menu
Let your employees report a suspicious email in one click, and enable the Slash detection banners.
🔟 Step 10: Set up your rules against data leaks
Where? Sonar menu
Connect your storage tools to analyse your external sharing, then define your control rules.
❹ Introduce Riot internally
While you activate your modules and before launching Cyber Missions, remember to communicate internally about Riot and Albert.
This will encourage your employees to get on board from day one.
Second-to-last step: 📣 Introduce Riot to your employees
❺ Activate Cyber Missions
⚠️ Important: in the previous sections, you prepared your Cyber Missions without activating them. Activation happens at this last step, once your employees have been informed.
👉 Last step: 🚀 Activate Cyber Missions
Where? Settings > Cyber Mission, button at the top of the page
Launch your programme: a new mission is generated on the 1st of each month for your employees.
Key takeaways
Sign in to hub.tryriot.com with Administrator access.
Always start by setting up your workspace (steps 1 to 6): sync and domains are what make the modules work properly.
Then activate your modules in the suggested order, following only the steps for your plan.
Introduce Riot to your employees before activating Cyber Missions.
