5 reasons we are different

  1. Our courses are FUN and ENGAGING!  Seriously, they are!  Ask to view a demo if you want to see for yourself.
  2. Your users will watch the courses from start to finish.  Because we use fast paced animation and few pauses, students don't have time to get distracted.  
  3. Each year, we research industry trends and the latest threats.  This means our courses evolve over time.  We don't endlessly repeat the same information.
  4. We will customize our courses for YOUR workplace.  A key part of security awareness is knowing how to get help.  We put specific contact information for your security manager, IT department, or compliance officer into the body of the course. 
  5. We are proven educators!  Native Intelligence security awareness materials have received multiple awards from the Federal Information System Security Educators Association (FISSEA), which is organized by NIST.
