"CyberHoot Makes Security Awareness Easy With Automated, Positive Reinforcement Training"

5/5

What do you like best about CyberHoot Cybersecurity Awareness Training?

What I like most about CyberHoot is its highly automated, “set it and forget it” approach. Once it’s deployed, it needs very little ongoing administration, which makes it easy to keep a consistent security awareness program running without adding extra work for IT staff.

I also value CyberHoot’s positive reinforcement model. Instead of penalizing employees for mistakes, the platform promotes participation and learning through rewards and recognition, which helps build a stronger security culture.

The training content is engaging and practical as well. In addition to traditional awareness videos and phishing simulations, CyberHoot guides users through real-world examples and shows them how to analyze suspicious messages. This hands-on approach helps employees understand what to look for when spotting phishing attempts and other cybersecurity threats, making the training more effective and relevant to their day-to-day work.

What do you dislike about CyberHoot Cybersecurity Awareness Training?

One area where CyberHoot could improve is the overall production quality of some of its training videos. While the content is informative and effective, the videos do not always have the same level of polish or production value found in some larger training platforms.

That said, I don't view this as a significant drawback. The videos remain engaging, concise, and easy for users to consume, which ultimately is more important than high-end production quality. Participation and completion rates have been strong, and the training content effectively communicates the intended cybersecurity concepts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CyberHoot Cybersecurity Awareness Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

CyberHoot addresses several common challenges that come with running a security awareness program. To start, it greatly reduces the manual effort needed to administer training. The platform automates training assignments, phishing simulations, reminders, and user onboarding, which helps us keep a consistent cybersecurity awareness program in place with minimal administrative overhead.

Its reporting capabilities are equally valuable. CyberHoot offers clear visibility into participation, completion rates, and overall program effectiveness, making it straightforward to demonstrate compliance and track engagement across our client organizations.

Most importantly, CyberHoot’s gamification and rewards-based approach drives real user engagement. Instead of treating security awareness training as a mandatory compliance task, users are motivated to participate actively and build their cybersecurity knowledge. In turn, this supports a stronger security culture and improves awareness of phishing attempts and other cyber threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Craig Taylor of CyberHoot Cybersecurity...

Thank you for the awesome review and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback!

You really hit on what we're trying to accomplish with CyberHoot. Make cybersecurity awareness training easy to manage, take the busywork off IT's plate, and actually get employees engaged in learning how to protect themselves and their organizations.

I'm especially glad you called out our positive reinforcement approach. We've always believed that teaching people how to spot threats is far more effective than tricking them and making them feel bad when they make a mistake. Cybersecurity training should build confidence, not fear!

I also appreciate your honest feedback on our videos. We're constantly improving our content and production quality, but our priority will always be delivering short, engaging lessons that people actually learn from.

At the end of the day, if we're saving IT teams time, helping organizations demonstrate compliance, and turning employees into a stronger line of defense, we're doing our job!

Thanks again for being part of the CyberHoot flock! 🦉
