Experiential cyber security training

The anti-boring cyber training company

Cyber escape rooms. Live incidents. AI scam calls. Immersive experiences.

We build human risk management training that gets people doing something, not nodding through another slide deck. Engagement people remember, cultures that back good behaviour, and instinct that holds up when things get messy. No box-ticking. No beige training. No bullshit.

What happens when security training actually lands

Word spread so quickly we ended up with a waiting list. 97% positive feedback. 94% said they'd do it again. Makes key cyber behaviours stick.

Andy Bagnall, CISO · The Telegraph

People wanting to come back matters. So does them talking about the experience afterwards. You need their attention before you can ask them to practice anything. Give them something worth engaging with and you've got somewhere to start building better security behaviours.

Why it doesn't stick

Your people aren't careless. They're just unprepared.

96% of employees who took a risky security action knew it was risky at the time.

Knowing the answer and acting on it are not the same thing. Annual training can give people information. Human cyber risk management has to deal with what happens next, when someone is busy, distracted, under pressure or being convincingly manipulated.

A randomised study of 19,500 employees found barely any difference between people who'd completed their annual training and people who hadn't. The gap was 1.7%. So stop assuming another module is the answer. Let people rehearse the situation, make the call, and get it wrong somewhere safe before it happens for real.

The brain doesn't learn through slides. It learns through experience, emotion and consequence. Always has.

How it works

Human risk management training that changes behaviour

Your people already know they shouldn't click suspicious links, hand over sensitive information or trust every urgent phone call.

Real incidents are harder than that. They arrive when someone is halfway through something else. The email looks convincing. The caller knows just enough. There's pressure to act quickly and no handy multiple-choice answer waiting underneath. That's what we rehearse.

Our human risk management training puts people inside realistic situations and asks them to make decisions. Cyber escape rooms, AI vishing calls, digital missions, tabletop exercises and large-scale experiences all do it differently, but the principle stays the same. If your security awareness training gives people the knowledge, we give them somewhere to use it: somewhere safe to hesitate, question, challenge, get it wrong and try again.

Because behaviour change happens in the doing.

What people say

The most impactful messaging we've been able to deliver, a level of impact and understanding we haven't previously achieved.

Marie Jeffery, BISO · Peabody

It's not just training. It's an experience that genuinely changes behaviour.

Sally Bolton, Cyber Human Risk Manager · ScottishPower Energy Networks

It has been critically useful to focus people's attention on the threats, and what they can do to reduce risk.

CISO · Ministry of Defence

It brought to life how good security hygiene is so important and made everyone think about how they can put this into action daily.

Rebekah Hobday, Infosec Assurance Manager · LV=
From the thinking side

We've done the reading so you don't have to

The research, the framework and the book: everything that explains why we do it this way, and why most programmes don't work.

Framework

The Behaviour Formula

Human risk isn't a people problem. It's a design problem. The Behaviour Formula is the three-lever system, Engagement, Awareness and Culture, that explains why most security programmes fail at the same stage, and how to fix it.

The data behind the discourse

Four papers on neuroscience, memory science, breach economics and the data on why annual compliance training has no measurable effect. Cited, sourced and written for people who want to understand the problem.

Interactive security awareness training for your team

There isn't one neat format that works for every organisation.

You might need a cyber security workshop for one team, a campaign across several locations or something immersive enough to get a room full of people properly involved. We build around what you need people to practice: spotting manipulation, challenging an unusual request, handling a live incident or finding out what happens when a perfectly sensible process meets real pressure.

The important bit is that people get to do more than watch. They get to rehearse.
