Testimonials

See who's talking about Cyberhoot

"Single Digits chose CyberHoot to address our Awareness Training and Policy Governance needs because it was simple and effective. Unlike other LMS systems which require 45-minute training videos and dozens of trick questions, our staff receives important training in less than 10 minutes once a month. I’d recommend CyberHoot to anyone looking for a quick, simple, cost-effective approach to securing their business in the 21st century. You’ll be glad you did!"

John Nelson, Single Digits, VP Engineering

"Managed Service Providers (MSP's) are constantly bombarded with new vendors and products that either overlap with a product already in our line cards or is difficult to get client buy in. Cyberhoot brings a new product/service to the MSP space that is unique and compelling. CyberHoot allows MSP's to shape the learning experiences of their clients resulting in powerful outcomes. I highly recommend you take a look at CyberHoot for your Learning Management System needs."

Chris Johnson, MSP-Ignite, Founder & CEO

"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

"Cybersecurity training is complicated, partnering with CyberHoot keeps it simple. Our users are engaged with little administrative overhead."

Jeremy Treister, CMIT Solutions of Chicago Downtown, President

"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
