CyberHoot has helped bring awareness of the current cybersecurity threats that my company may face and has made me more confident when using the internet. I felt the videos were clear and succinct and digestible. The quizzes help reinforce the learning and have an appropriate level of difficulty in my opinion.
  • Cybersecurity education
  • Help companies strategize against cyber threats
  • Demonstrate the importance of cybersecurity awareness for small businesses
  • It would be great if there were more videos on cybersecurity topics that were free to help further knowledge
I would recommend this for both individuals and small businesses. I immediately thought of my technically challenged parents as well as my small business when working through the content. They also have a service to help small businesses like mine operate more securely. This type of thing is perfect for someone like me who doesn’t really have the budget for a cybersecurity officer

I completed the free individual training program with CyberHoot. It has helped me learn what sort of things out there can put me or my company at risk. It's really opened my eyes to the threats out there regarding cybersecurity. It definitely helps create a more 'aware' culture within companies that use this tool.
  • Short, to the point training videos
  • Sends everything directly to my email so I don't have to remember login details
  • Takes no longer than 5-10 minutes to complete a course/assignment
  • I'd like to see the feedback change a little when I get a question wrong on the test. It can be a little confusing, but certainly not a game-changer.
I can't think of an instance where CyberHoot wouldn't be well suited unless someone has expert knowledge in cybersecurity already. It can be used by individuals for free (like me), or it appears (from their site) through businesses or service providers as well. It is well suited for anyone, everyone should take CyberHoot courses!

I've used the free cybersecurity Bootcamp training that CyberHoot offers, it has helped me become more aware of the threats that I face on a day-to-day basis It has helped me secure my business by not clicking on links, opening malicious attachments, and understanding how hackers operate
  • Quick and to the point training videos
  • The quiz after the video is not extremely difficult, fair questions
  • Covers all of the threats people face on a daily basis
  • Include more videos in the free training program
CyberHoot should be adopted by any company as far as I'm concerned. It has helped me be safer on the Internet and using company devices. CyberHoot has helped secure my company through my being more aware of the threats out there and how the hackers do them. I can't imagine a scenario where this product wouldn't be a good fit for a company, they seem to do it all

We used this platform as our primary way of continuing Religious Education during the beginning of the pandemic when our church and school were shut down. It offered a wonderful opportunity for our catechists, students, and families to stay connected during a difficult time. We found that this online platform promoted family catechesis which helped us to realize that we needed to keep this platform available throughout our program even after our building and classrooms opened up again.
  • User friendly, especially for non-technical people.
  • Easy to see status of all users.
  • Very easy to switch from one class, "customer" to another.
  • Easy to resend assignments out.
  • I wish this platform allowed more then one email per user.
Without being overly complicated, CyberHoot suited our needs to provide lessons and videos for our students and families to do together while safe in their homes during the pandemic.

I went through the Cyberhoot training as a refresher and enjoyed the Cybersecurity training videos and quizzes. The videos were well done, covering relevant topics that should be top of mind for Cybersecurity professionals such as common types of attacks, malware, phishing, password management, etc. Any business that utilizes these training tools would have a stronger security culture as a result!

I signed up for the free CyberHoot training in an effort to increase my personal and professional knowledge of cybersecurity. I work in a variety of settings including in customer service at a financial institution. Currently, there has been a tremendous increase in fraud cases involving, phishing, smashing, and ransomware attacks on customers. I found the six free pieces of training to be brief and extremely informative. The 6 questions quizzes at the end of the training videos offer a chance to test your mastery of the material presented with an opportunity to retake it. CyberHoot also offers dark web monitoring and free informative monthly newsletters with individual accounts. I would highly recommend proactive CyberHoot training for individuals as well as small or large businesses to protect their information assets and customer data from breaches and cyber threats.
  • Easy to understand training videos that are brief yet impactful
  • easy access and flexible options for testing
  • Only six test questions for mastery of content with opportunity to retake
  • great graphics and audio on the videos
  • relevant and effective training content
  • Excellent training for busy employees
  • questions for the end of unit quizzes could be reviewed to avoid confusion and promote key points and mastery
The training videos were excellent and relevant: Spotting and Avoiding Phishing Attacks, The many benefits of a Password Manager, Wifi Insecurities, and How to Reduce Wifi Risks are all topics that everyone should learn about to proactively prevent cyberattacks and threats. I can see tremendous value in the training for individuals as well as small and large businesses.

I signed up for CyberHoot's BootCamp to try out the videos before suggesting my company purchase the product. I really enjoyed the brevity of the videos and the simplicity of the quiz after the video was completed. It solidified my knowledge and even emailed me my results afterward. The videos were so easy to access, not requiring me to remember a website, login credentials, or any of that. The training was interesting, professional, and quick. And yet, I feel like I learned some valuable lessons that no one else has taught me before. CyberHoot covered cybersecurity basics on common attacks that hackers use to break into our company including poor password hygiene, lack of multi-factor authentication, and phishing / social engineering attacks. I love the results it secures in my end users!
  • Quick and easy access to my training
  • Fights boredom by curating videos from multiple sources online
  • Includes dark web exposed accounts
  • Included phish testing assignments which I liked over the fake messages sent to my inbox
  • N/A
If your company is beginning its cybersecurity awareness training journey, I can think of no better product than CyberHoot to meet those needs. The price, ease of use, and simplicity really appealed to me. This product might not be appropriate for Fortune 50 companies that have dozens of cybersecurity staff to create cybersecurity programs, perform training, and phish testing as all those folks would be out of a job with CyberHoot's automation.

I've used the free individual training program. The product has helped me personally and professionally regarding cybersecurity awareness. At first, I knew basically nothing about cybersecurity threats, now I have the knowledge I need to successfully spot and avoid certain cybersecurity threats. I thought I knew what to do and not do on the Internet, but now I actually have best practices to follow for phishing attacks, ransomware, etc.
  • Very informational videos
  • Videos are short and to the point (3-5 minutes)
  • Quizzes aren't too difficult, but not too easy either.
  • Educates users on what to look out for and best practices.
  • I'd like to see more videos on other cybersecurity topics in the free program to further my knowledge
CyberHoot is well suited to educate anyone on cybersecurity threats. From someone who has 0 knowledge about cybersecurity to someone who has a wealth of knowledge in the industry, it helps everyone gain knowledge on emerging threats. CyberHoot doesn't really have scenarios where it is less appropriate from what I've seen, it can't hurt to freshen up on cybersecurity threats!
