Hexatronic Scales Cybersecurity Training with Nimblr

The Challenge

Hexatronic, a global leader in fiber optic cables and solutions, faced the challenge of ensuring that 2,000 employees across 38 subsidiaries were well-trained in cybersecurity. With operations spanning Europe, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Korea, managing and effectively delivering consistent cybersecurity training was a significant concern. The company needed a solution that could automate the training process, keep up with emerging threats, and ensure that all employees were well-prepared to handle cyber risks.

The Solution

Hexatronic turned to Nimblr for its automated and behavior-driven cybersecurity training solutions. After considering various options, Hexatronic chose Nimblr for its simplicity and effectiveness. 'We chose Nimblr because of its simplicity. We didn’t want to manage users or courses manually. Nimblr does that for us,' said Oscar Karlsson, CIO at Hexatronic Group AB. Nimblr's automated onboarding and realistic training simulations, including phishing scenarios, allowed Hexatronic to efficiently educate their workforce on cyber threats. 'I wouldn’t be able to communicate these kinds of threats to 2,000 employees on my own. Nimblr does it in an effective way,' Karlsson added.

The Results

Since implementing Nimblr, Hexatronic has successfully trained 2,000 employees across 38 operational units, fostering a security-aware culture. The automated training process and real-time reporting provided by Nimblr have ensured that Hexatronic's employees are well-prepared to recognize and respond to cyber threats. 'They’re so realistic that even I almost fell for one. When our staff starts calling me to ask whether an email is real, I know the training is working,' stated Karlsson. With 18 production facilities now benefiting from enhanced cybersecurity awareness, Hexatronic has significantly strengthened its defense against cyber threats.
