Overall Satisfaction with Infosec Skills

We are an education enterprise. Infosec skills are used as part of our course labs. It addresses theory and training--practice items as well. It gives our students an opportunity to test their knowledge. The students especially enjoy the interactive stories--while they seem easy, there are real-life situations and students can chat about them.
  • The real-life examples are very helpful
  • The replies to errors--our favorite is the phishing tool
  • The ease of use
  • It would be great for more varied modalities. The recent choose your own adventure type game is an example. This is especially important for students who do not readily participate in class, who prefer not to speak up
  • Add accessibility
  • Include examples from a variety of fields--not only tech environments
  • Keep being current

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Infosec Skills again?

No

  • Because we are small, we were very pleased that Infosec worked with us on price. However, given the current budget issues, we will have to wait a while before we make any purchases.
We have only used Infosec Skills. We have nothing to compare.
With our students
As we are an educational program, and like many were virtual due to the pandemic, the hands-on features were very helpful. Students needs realistic experiences.
They work for our students--they are realistic, they are accessible, and sometimes they are fun
This activities and learning spark a chance for interactive learning in a college class. Again, for us it is best for training and practice in a safe space.
