Why CyberNut?
The quick facts
Explore how CyberNut compares against the alternatives
InfoSec is built for the corporate and federal world—not classrooms. Its platform treats schools like just another enterprise account, with no special attention to student data privacy, school schedules, or teacher engagement.
CyberNut, on the other hand, is designed exclusively for K–12. That means everything—from training length to compliance handling to dashboard structure—is built with schools in mind. No bloat, no fluff, just focused school protection.
InfoSec offers generic badge systems that feel more like an HR checkbox than a teaching tool. These rewards don’t resonate with students or motivate busy school staff to stay engaged over time.
CyberNut flips the script with a gamified system designed for the school environment. Leaderboards, acorn-based incentives, and grade-level-appropriate motivators keep participation high without feeling forced.
InfoSec’s phishing tools come with a steep learning curve—manual setups, multi-layered configurations, and complex scheduling that overwhelms smaller IT teams.
CyberNut makes it simple. With adaptive phishing simulations that auto-adjust based on user role, past behavior, and school grade level, admins can “set it and forget it”—and still get smarter staff.
InfoSec’s pricing is better suited for Fortune 500s and federal agencies. For schools trying to stay under budget, it’s often a tough sell—especially when the tools aren’t built for them.
CyberNut delivers a complete K–12 platform at a flat, transparent price. Whether you’re a single school or an entire district, you get full access without jumping through pricing hoops.
InfoSec doesn’t serve students—it wasn’t built for them. There’s no COPPA compliance, no child-friendly content, and nothing tailored for elementary, middle, or high school audiences.
CyberNut trains entire campuses, including students. Whether it’s click safety for 3rd graders or phishing awareness for seniors, every module is age-appropriate and legally compliant.
Schools don’t have enterprise security teams. But InfoSec often assumes they do. Between platform maintenance, simulation setup, and reporting, IT teams are left managing yet another system.
CyberNut is built to run itself. Campaigns sync automatically, phishing simulations roll out on schedule, and the platform checks itself for engagement—all without admin babysitting.
Getting real-time alerts from InfoSec can feel like setting up an enterprise SIEM. The platform often requires layered integrations and comes with limited visibility into real phishing activity.
CyberNut bakes threat reporting into its DNA. When a user reports a phishing email, it instantly routes to the IT dashboard with context, timing, and priority. No need for forensic sleuthing or third-party plugins.
