Why train your employees in cybersecurity?
Cyber attacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated, putting data and reputation of organizations at risk. In 9 out of 10 cases, the attacks are the result of human error. Employees are often the gateway to cyber threats, but they can also be the first line of defense, which is why it is crucial to train them on the new challenges of cybersecurity.
By training your employees to keep your organization safe, teaching them to recognize the signs of a cyberattack and adopt good security practices, you can reduce the risk of a threat. In addition, cybersecurity training can help boost the level of cyber culture in your teams. You’re making them aware of the importance of data security, creating a more secure and reliable work environment. Invest in cybersecurity training for your employees can therefore benefit both the security of your organization and the trust of your customers.
A cybersecurity training platform based on the 4 learning pillars
Grabbing attention with fun content
To provide an effective and lasting cybersecurity experience for your employees, we attract their attention (1st pillar) with fun content and an engaging platform, while providing them with reliable and relevant training content. Our qualified pedagogical teams and cybersecurity experts are constantly working on technology watch and regular updates to guarantee quality content, prevent cyber risks and threats, and thus maintain your employees‘ attention over the long term.
Encourage employees to progress
After the attention phase, we encourage the active engagement (2nd pillar) of your employees by offering them a personalized follow-up of their progress. All of this from an easy-to-use, interactive and fun training platform.
Promote learning
We then promote the sustainable learning of our employees thanks to an approach based on the return on error (3rd pillar) in a constructive and always benevolent manner. Thanks to our mistakes, we learn to do better, we memorize more and we evolve. These situations allow us to avoid repeating the same mistakes by identifying them beforehand.
Practice for better understanding and learning
Last step in the learning process: consolidation of knowledge (4th pillar). Mistakes allow learning and repetition of exercises allows knowledge to be consolidated. On our e-learning platform, we provide exercises and relevant memo cards to enrich our cybersecurity training.
Engage your employees through short and playful formats
Our microlearning approach allows your employees to strengthen their cybersecurity skills in just a few minutes per day. With short modules tailored to their individual needs, they can focus on the most relevant topics and reduce the time it takes to learn.

Our gamified approach provides an interactive and engaging experience for your employees. With fun, fact-based exercises and rewards to encourage progress, users are motivated and engaged. This approach reinforces their cyber culture and improves their ability to protect your organization against cyber threats, while making training more fun and enjoyable.
