    The cyber security training, paired with the phishing simulator will reduce your company's vulnerability, at the same time that it flags the localized issues, so specific groups can be targeted later on. Phishing and scamming have become less of a problem once the users were better educated on how to prevent and identify scams/phishings.

    SANS Security Awareness Training program would be well suited for a large organization that needs to develop multiple training programs with different courses based on the roles of the end users. It seemed a bit difficult at times to achieve simple setup processes because of the configurations tailored to larger, more complex organizations.

    Usability
    NINJIO, LLC
    NINJIO has an overall easy platform to use. I'm not a fan that I have to use one hub and the Dojo to access different things. The platform does lack a few things, like timestamps of training completion and a schedule of what videos are going to come. The Dojo platform is good, overall.

    Great support. Support is always there to help you whenever required. They have the quickest response to your request. They also keep monitoring the campaign launches and will notify you if you have missed any month

    We actually are currently migrating to Proofpoint Security Awareness Training because of its integration with the Proofpoint email filter. This will allow us to target specific users who are clicking on bad emails with specific training material. We have used KnowBe4 in the past as well, but it was rather costly compared to SANS Security Awareness Training and Proofpoint. SANS Security Awareness Training seems to be the least easy-to-use interface from an administrative perspective compared to the other two.

    Contract Terms and Pricing Model
    NINJIO, LLC
    Pricing is great but, if you automate the connection of new user accounts through systems like MS Azure, keep in mind that you will have to make sure to remove service accounts since they charge by a number of users connected to it. The pricing is really good and they offer a ton of features if you are willing to spend a few extra bucks.

    Return on Investment
    NINJIO, LLC
    • Employees have recognized dangerous emails as a result of Ninjio cyber training videos.
    • Employees understand the importance and reason for our cyber security policies and adhere to them.
    • Employees have learned to question the validity of emails before responding and have forwarded any suspicious emails for review by IT and most generally we correct in doing so.

    • Considering the potential for bad actors infiltrating our network, this is a small expense
