See who's talking about Cyberhoot

"The ease of setup and use for both administrators and users was immediately apparent. The automated training and phishing awareness features are major time savers for HR and IT teams”

Natalie Ripple, Redzone Technologies, System Analyst

"Craig and the CyberHoot team are great business partners! They are always open to enhancing their product, and ready to help my team with any deployment questions they may have. I am also an end user of the CyberHoot security tool which I find to be extremely intuitive, quick, and helpful."

Marisa Zelfond, TekDoc, Director of Sales & Account Management

"CyberHoot's cyber awareness training is a game-changer for businesses looking to build a strong security culture."

Cris White, cyberSuite, Head of Cyber Advisory

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

Max Krider, Creative Tech, HIPAA Compliance Officer

"After 9 months of CyberHoot awareness training, a Financial Management firm with $4 Billion in assets was phish tested by the Fellsway Group. They had zero (0%) employees click on the phishing test. In contrast, the exact same phishing attack had a 30% click rate at another client that had not yet done CyberHoot training. The product really proves its worth!"

John Mumford, Fellsway Group, Chief Risk Officer
