Staff is the single most significant danger to the cyber security posture of an organization. Before implementing Mimecast Awareness Training, staff had almost no awareness or concept of IT security or the potential risks. Staff attitudes have improved dramatically since introducing Awareness Training.

Its the best, hands down. Great, easy to use and on point content that injects some humour into the training makes it relevent whilst staying engaging.
