Training & Certification Programs
GM Sectec through our award winning Education Nexus enables and supports baseline and continuous cyber defense instruction excellence.
Empower Your People to Protect Their Organization
No matter how advanced your organization’s security technology is, there will always be risk associated with your workforce. Human risk is difficult to quantify because stakeholders must consider every type of threat: malicious, negligent and compromised. Investing in a holistic program to educate and empower everyone who touches your network will inherently reduce risk by increasing awareness and impacting culture.
GM Sectec offers a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity education through both general end-user awareness and role-based training. Meaningful, relevant, current training content establishes a solid foundation for your general user base, while simulated phishing campaigns provide insight and create opportunities for risk mitigation.

Learn
We work with your stakeholders to identify appropriate general end-user and role-based training to provide meaningful business impacts and personal relevance to end-users.

Experience
We’ll help create an environment of awareness, including formalized training with reinforcement materials like newsletters, posters, digital images, and simulated phishing campaigns.

Transform
Our cyber education program is more than just content – it’s a strategy. We help you transform your organization’s culture into one of awareness, responsibility, and ownership through positive behavior change.
