Overview
CyberNut provides a security awareness training platform tailored for K-12 schools. It trains faculty, staff, and students to recognize and report phishing by delivering school-focused training modules at an affordable price. The product works by offering phishing awareness content and reporting guidance designed specifically for the school environment, serving as a budget-friendly alternative to KnowBe4 and InfoSec. Unlike broader enterprise security training, CyberNut targets the needs of K-12 districts and schools. The goal is to help schools strengthen their phishing defenses and security culture by making training accessible and easy to implement for teachers, administrators, and students.
