last year, it was clear to me that we needed to raise awareness of the biggest risk - our employees - in order to deal with the current threats. It turned out that Cyberopex was the ideal choice for the training, as the content and the way it was presented really touched our employees. We will continue to work with Cyberopex in the future and expand on the topics from the awareness training. Thank you once again for this perfectly tailored training course!"
