This partnerships expands the service offerings for both organizations adding additional value to each respective organization’s customers. High quality Security Awareness and Compliance training is a pivotal part of a healthy and mature Information Security program that tackles the human-side of risk. Effective training that focuses on knowledge retention and behavior modification for employees helps reduce the likelihood of a breach through human-focused attack vectors that every organization faces. Many organizations effectively harden and secure their Internet-facing services, but Social Engineering attack vectors are one means by which malicious actors attempt to get around those controls. Older methods of training are expensive and often don’t have a significant return on investment. This is the problem Firewall Academy solves.
I’ve worked with Jeff at Firewall Academy in the past and his dedication to the craft is second to none. When I found out he was tackling an aspect of this industry that is long overdue for innovation and a fresh perspective, I was thrilled with the opportunity to partner with him and Firewall Academy. Our customers can rest assured that if they are looking to improve the human aspect of their organization’s Information Security program and manage associated risk, they are in great hands with Firewall Academy. The product is very intuitive, cleanly presented, and the content pushes through common pain points with Security Awareness and Compliance training that many organizations face with other products.
— Michael B., President, Shamar Information Security LLC
