Testimonials

See who's talking about Cyberhoot

"CyberHoot has been a game-changer for us - simple to deploy, highly effective in raising awareness, and a great fit for MSPs looking to strengthen client security postures without adding complexity."

Ahmed Albalooshi, Advantari Digital Solutions, CEO

"Easy to implement and get immediate results. Through CyberHoot, I can single-handedly support a company with 500 people in training and policy governance with a minimum of effort. More employees now send me phishing emails they receive, stating 'this is a phishing email' as opposed to just clicking on them."

Tim Hurman, Single Digits, System Administrator

"While it is well known that there are many cyber security threats, sorting out how to protect yourself without accidentally exposing yourself can be a daunting task. For a small organization like ours, this type expertise and time to research it, are a rare commodity. Cyberhoot has provided us with reliable practices and training tools, in small, manageable increments, that leave us feeling confident and assured about cybersecurity."

Astrid Wielens, Zebra Crossings, Executive Director

"CyberHoot is a great option for Cybersecurity for our schools. The videos and other training are very user-friendly. Their support is fantastic as well."

Robyn Dunlap, Franklin Schools, Director of Technology

“Using CyberHoot was one of the best decisions we made regarding SAT. Fully automated, training is interesting, and staff participation is high compared to other vendors.”

Michael Gibby, SEQ IT Services, Founder & Managing Director
