37 Infosec Testimonials

"The course was a good mix of lecture and hands-on exercises. The hands-on, capture-the-flag exercises were really beneficial — especially the Nmap exercises. They taught us how to write scripts and execute commands, and got progressively difficult overtime."

"Government security is only as strong as its most vulnerable agency, so inconsistent training across agencies weakens the security posture for the entire state government."

“I see a lot of value in using SecurityIQ Security Awareness product. In addition to providing a benefit to WestconGroup, I believe the training will benefit the employees outside of work by altering their habits in their personal environment.”

"My instructor, Robert, was fantastic. He shared stories from the trenches and brought the course material to life. The course covered a ton of material, and his approach helped keep it light. Robert inserted jokes when appropriate and invited us to share our own experiences with the group to keep class interesting and real."

"Our instructor directly asked online students for feedback — often calling on us by name. If he asked a question, he would wait until responses from all students came in before moving forward. You didn’t feel like you were just watching a training video because you were engaged."

“Infosec IQ was one of many changes we made to our security strategy. Security takes a multilayered approach, and employee security education is an important layer.”

"Training online was slightly different from the in-person training I’ve taken in the past, but mostly the same. I would gladly do the online training again. It worked well for me, and I liked the flexibility it provided. I didn’t have to worry about travel or traffic. I just had to get out of bed, get on a computer and go."

"I got a promotion at work after earning the CCNA Security certification. I actually found out in class right before I took the ICND2 exam. I’m now earning a pay grade higher than I was before class. A secondary benefit of certification is the self confidence it gives you. It proves you have a knowledge base not everyone has."

“The reason we went with Infosec IQ is two-fold: Infosec IQ offered training relevant to our healthcare clients, and the platform was supported with 20 years of security training experience and a dedicated support team. It was an easy decision for us.”

“The support and developer resources dedicated to Infosec IQ makes a big difference. Our old platform was a rowboat — Infosec IQ is a cruise ship.”

"Within the first few minutes of being online with my instructor, Leighton, I knew it was going to work for me. I felt very connected through the experience. I could ask questions and he’d circle back to address them before moving on. It was also easy to have interactive conversations with other students in class."

"The course not only met my expectations, but exceeded them. It was the most engaging online training I’ve ever had."

"Sitting the CISSP class and taking the exam helped me understand the managerial side of security much better. It showed me the best ways to communicate security best practices with leadership and express the importance of security from an operational perspective."

“Our employees enjoy the Infosec IQ phishing simulations and training. The training is easy to understand, it’s easy to manage and it works."

"Our team is really into the Infosec IQ training. I even had a coworker personally thank me for the training because it’s helping him stay more secure outside of work."
