[MANAGED PHISHING SIMULATION SERVICE]

"I have been working with Spear Shield for the past 2 years understanding human risk through their phishing simulation service and I can say the service has been thoroughly professional and second to none which has culminated in a tangible reduction in insider threat risk. I also congratulate Spear Shield for their passion and work elevating the importance of cyber security in our local and national business communities."

Kevin W. Head of Cyber and I.T. Security
ISG Ltd

[EGRESS DEFEND AND MANAGED PHISHING SIMULATION SERVICE]

"Spear Shield has helped enable us to put the ownership of emails back on to the user. Because ultimately, we're just one team, regardless of size, you can't see everything, and you have to trust your people not to click. Defend's banners and the rewriting of the links are invaluable. There's just that extra layer of protection."

Spear Shield worked closely with us from pre-sales to post-sales support, ensuring we were fully set up. It's great to have one less thing to worry about knowing that we have a team of cybersecurity experts hunting and responding to cyber threats on our behalf."

Andrew F. Head of I.T.
Times Higher Education

[STRATEGIC CYBERSECURITY PARTNER]

"We approached Spear Shield to enhance our cybersecurity and were immediately impressed by their knowledge, product awareness, and approachable team. They successfully ran a phishing email campaign to boost awareness and helped enhance our threat protection solution. We look forward to continuing our partnership and highly recommend them to other local businesses."
