CyberNut delivers gamified lessons and motivational tools that actually get people involved—without turning cybersecurity into homework.
Proofpoint offers customizable phishing tests, but it often requires a full-time admin to manage campaign scheduling and responses.
CyberNut automatically rolls out smart simulations that adapt to user behavior and role, saving time and increasing effectiveness.
