ABOUT US

HEART Sec is a leading Cybersecurity Training and Awareness organization specializing in Social Engineering and Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) education. We focus primarily on empowering Small to Medium-sized businesses with the knowledge and tools needed to safeguard their operations.

Our Mission: Build a Strong Security Culture!

At HEART Sec, we recognize the alarming statistics: over 50% of cyberattacks target small to medium-sized businesses, yet fewer than 30% of these organizations have a formal Cybersecurity Plan in place.

Our consultants are dedicated to cultivating a robust security culture within your organization. Through engaging, tailored training content, we educate employees at all levels on the importance of security awareness and fostering a security-first mindset.

As technology continues to evolve, let HEART Sec help you build a culture that prioritizes security at every level.

Our Services

HEART Sec has multiple Training and Education service lines to serve your organization’s cybersecurity needs.

Training and Education Services

Reduce the impact that cybersecurity attacks have by educating your employees to identify and respond appropriately to threat actor activity. HEART Sec will tailor security awareness training to be engaging, impactful, and memorable to assist in the retention of ideas presented so that your employees walk away with the most out of training.

This service is customized for individuals throughout the organization from the C-Suite to the IC. We want to ensure that all individuals possessing access to critical data and those that have substantial influence and stake in the company are aware of and keenly prepared to respond to Social Engineering threats in today’s ever-changing environment.

HEART Sec performs open-source intelligence training to demonstrate how attackers uncover exposed data that might make organizations and individuals vulnerable to attacks. HEART Sec executes this training by walking companies through campaigns to discover items that an organization does not want exposed publicly and to demonstrate how individuals are susceptible to leaking personal information.
