The challenge: protecting children’s and families’ data from cyber threats

Smartick, an online educational platform for children aged 4 to 14, manages sensitive personal and academic data on a daily basis. The security of this information is critical: beyond compliance, the company is deeply committed to ensuring that both its internal team and the families it serves operate in a safe digital environment. The challenge was to raise awareness and improve employee responsiveness against threats such as phishing and social engineering.

The solution: continuous training and tailored phishing simulations

With Kymatio, Smartick rolled out a continuous awareness and training program tailored to each employee’s specific needs. Regular phishing campaigns were launched, including highly realistic spear phishing simulations. The platform also integrated neuropsychological assessments and interactive chatbot sessions that—thanks to an intuitive, visually appealing UX—achieved high participation rates.
