They aren't here to help us checka compliance box... they help uschange behavior.

In their own words

What Texas districts say.

K-12 technology leaders on what changed when they chose CyberNut.

Shad McGaha
CTO, Belton ISD

"CyberNut has fundamentally changed how we approach cybersecurity. They aren't here to help us check a compliance box... they help us change behavior. They go beyond awareness training, giving staff the ability to recognize, report, and act on real threats, while also teaching Digital Citizenship to our students. They've helped us build a culture of security that protects our people, our data, and our students every day."

Israel De Leon
Technology Director, South San Antonio ISD

"Most awareness programs focus on checking a box. CyberNut focuses on changing behavior. Staff are more aware, more confident, and more likely to report. We've seen employees flag threats before they became incidents. It helps us reduce risk and empower every employee to protect our district."

Curtis Shahan
Technology Director, Wichita Falls ISD

"CyberNut is a critical piece of our cybersecurity strategy. Its gamified approach generates immediate buy-in, turning phishing awareness from a chore into a challenge. Its real power is real-world remediation; we instantly pull malicious emails from across our system. It gives us total confidence in our phishing defense."

Amanda Lanicek
CTO, Springtown ISD

"In education, our greatest asset, and biggest vulnerability, is the human element. Traditional training fails because teachers don't have time for long videos. With automated 30-second micro-learning and gamified simulations, we've cut our vulnerability without adding workload, shifting from reactive troubleshooting to proactive defense."
