Make your employees your strongest line of defense

Most cyberattacks start with human error—a clicked link, opened attachment, or spoofed email that looked legitimate. OpenText Core Security Awareness Training changes that. Bite-sized microlearning modules build knowledge fast, and realistic phishing simulations put it to the test. Automation keeps programs running with minimal overhead, while customization ensures every employee gets training that's relevant to their role and your organization's risk profile.

    Customer success

    We were working with a client on a Microsoft Teams rollout. We used the opportunity to deploy an OpenText template phishing simulation to test their end users. Four people fell for it! That’s four opportunities where a real phishing attack could have gotten through and eventually infected the network.
