About Us

I'm proud of the fact that my team has provided training to places that are overwhelmed by the requirement or simply don’t have the time. Every organization that makes use of the internet needs cyber security awareness. We’re here to make it easy for you.

After years of working in Cyber Defense, I realized that my own information security community tends to write off the individual employee. We know that all it takes sometimes is for one employee to click on a phishing e-mail to let the bad guys into our networks. That said, I don’t think it’s fair to provide mediocre awareness training or no training at all and then blame the employee. Cyber Safe Workforce was born from the desire to help busy IT departments educate the average employee on computer security basics as well as their information handling responsibilities. By taking the burden of producing training material off of the IT department or information security manager, we let them continue doing what they do best. 

Our customers include counties, cities, public schools, higher ed, and small businesses.

We are a WBENC-Certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) and Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB).
