Totally satisfied with PSAT

Rating: 9 out of 10
December 01, 2022
PSAT is recommended in most part of the organizations. But in my point of view, the companies that already have governance processes implemented, could extract better results.

Our experience has shown that the maturity level is directly related to how users face the threats.

I think that Proofpoint is the best product on the market for Security Awareness Training. They make it easy, they have taken all the guess work out of it. You are supplied with everything you need to have a successful program and you don't have to be a "teacher" to do this. They have taken all of the guess work out of it.

Proofpoint Security Awareness Training is ideally suited for educating non-technical staff. The training assignments convey the information clearly and succinctly, but all information is always very clear, easy to read and very easy to comprehend. We have found, with a very mobile workforce, that the training is very available and allows for quick, pointed info transfer.
