Our sector's operations and customers involved add complexity to the cybersecurity landscape. Today's working life, with people using the same devices at work and in private life while traveling, adds an extra layer of risks. We recognized the need for an engaging tool to educate employees about different risk areas in everyday life. CyberCoach is a smart, personalized mentor that ensures all employees have the necessary skills." ![Harri Helokangas](https://www.cybercoach.com/hubfs/Harri_Helokangas-finnfund-lowres%20sq.jpg) #### Harri Helokangas, ICT Specialist at Finnfund "I've been in IT my whole career, seeing cybersecurity become more important all the time. User skills have become crucial, and that's where CyberCoach helped us a lot. Impressively over 95% of our employees have completed most of the training modules in a short time. This participation rate is commendable and surpasses many other training programs. The average rating for the first five active months is 4 out of 5, which we consider good. It’s also great IT administrators can track overall progress without compromising privacy and anonymity of the employees."   ## How has CyberCoach made a difference for Finnfund?
